Friday, March 27, 5 – 7 pm
Sandler Family Campus
Jewish adults between ages 22 and 40, are invited to begin the weekend with “Shabbat mode” at a NextGen Happy Hour Shabbat.
Leave the stress of the work week behind and unwind in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere filled with laughter and community. Come in work or favorite casual attire, ready to mingle and welcome Shabbat. The event will include a variety of games to play, appetizers to nosh on, and kosher wine or juice to raise a glass for a heartfelt L’chaim.
In the Jewish tradition, Shabbat is centered around joy, a theme that is highlighted each week. This joy isn’t just an emotion, but a spiritual practice of “Oneg Shabbat” (Delight in Shabbat), where the “doing” of the work week is intentionally set aside to focus on the “being” of community and connection.
Reconnect with old friends or meet new ones at this evening of relaxation and connection, celebrating this joyous occasion gathering to nourish spirits and create a foundation for many more gatherings to come.
United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s NextGen programs are for Jewish adults between ages 22 and 40, and their partners. For more information or to register, visit JewishVA.org/NextGen or contact Hannah Yasemsky, NextGen engagement coordinator, at HYasemsky@ujft.org
