They’re at it again! Local Mah Jongg Mavens Amy Levy and Stephanie Calliott are on a mission to make sure everyone has the opportunity to learn the game. With their contagious enthusiasm, Mah Jongg is fast becoming a multigenerational favorite — and now it’s the next generation’s turn to discover the fun and magic of this timeless game.
Next Gen Meet-Up for Mah Jongg held its first lesson on Sunday, Oct. 26, where a small group of would-be devotees came together to learn the game. Next Gen women (ages 25 – 40ish) in the Jewish community (Jewish women and women who are members of Jewish households), are invited to learn, play, and connect.
Levy and Calliott hope their newly-minted players will find a game or two to play regularly — to continue sharpening their skills, share a few laughs, and perhaps most importantly, to build new friendships. With every tile played, Tidewater’s growing Mah Jongg community continues to connect players in the spirit of fun and friendship.
Whether a seasoned player, a beginner, or just curious to understand what all the excitement is about, there’s room at the table.
Mahjongg Mondays are held every Monday afternoon, 1 – 4 pm at the Sandler Family Campus, except the first Monday of the month. Join the game — and see why Mah Jongg is fast becoming one of the best people-connectors around.
