ChaiLights 2023-24
December 10, 2023 @ 9:15 am - 10:30 pm
This fall, OZ will be serving Sunday morning bagels, coffee and with fun, social experiences for adults!
Beginning September 10th, weekly ChaiLights gatherings will give you a chance to learn, taste and connect.
Each gathering will start off with food and open conversation, followed by a unique experience that will engage and inspire, let us create and improve the world.
This project’s vibe is fun, social and low-pressure, with activities lead by community volunteers. Its a great fit for Jews, Jewish-adjacent and those who are just curious.
December 10th:
