The Link, No Need to Recreate the Wheel
Did you know that there are over 25 groups that currently exist that directly benefit young Jewish adults? Individuals have taken it upon themselves to fill a void that they are missing. In some cases that may be a Shabbat dinner, a pub night or a yoga class. The point is that there are leaders in our community fostering new leaders and relationships by creating small and large scenes for Jews to chill in. However, the issue is that there is no link connecting these fabulous people and ideas to one another. There is no need to recreate the wheel, but there is a need for a matchmaker and someone to spice up the scene a bit. So, yours truly is here to help.
Matchmaker Matchmaker Make Me a Match
Young adults are really not that complicated. At this stage in our lives and careers, we want to have exposure to people we like – but with a Jewish twist.

I am here to help identify the needs that young adults living in
Expanding the Personal Jewish Horizon
There are a number of incentives that bring young Jewish professionals together. Some of us just want more opportunities to network and further our careers. Others, who are already connected to the community, want more time to spend with each other and meet new people. Some want volunteer experiences, to find ways to give back and seek outlets to fill that need. But whatever it comes down to, the underlying fact is that young adults at this stage in their lives are looking for opportunities to expand their personal horizons.
