Jewish Life

These five-week meetups offer a space to think through life’s big questions using a Jewish framework. Led by Sixth & I’ers in their apartments and homes, these salon-style gatherings are a great way to meet new people in a relaxed, laid-back setting.

You’ll discuss:

• Week 1: Introduction
• Week 2: Individuality vs. communal belonging
• Week 3: How to make big decisions
• Week 4: What makes a meaningful friendship?
• Week 5: How to say goodbye
