Young Adults in the City!

We are thrilled that you are interested in getting involved in the Chicago Jewish Community, whether you are already here or are soon to arrive. The city is fantastic: the clubs, the museums, the sports teams – the entire package. And the Jewish community is every bit as exciting. There are literally thousands of us here, making lives and careers in the Chicago area – enjoying the rich social and cultural advantages of Chicago and exploring a myriad of Jewish options as well. These include opportunities to network professionally, volunteer our time working on behalf of others; socializing; participating in Israel related activities and more. Here are some places, groups and organizations that can help you meet new friends, enjoy a Shabbat dinner and network with long time members of the community and newcomers alike.
