I created Unlimited Singles Events after many years ago becoming newly single again. I quickly learned that dating wasn't going to be as easy as I had thought it was going to be. There seemed to be so many rules, and alot had changed since I had been single before. There was something missing. But I was hopeful that even though it was missing, it hadn't changed. There is nothing like seeing someone from across the room and having them stand out in a crowd! There is nothing like that first time w …

Hi all! My name is Emily, and my husband Scott & I have a 7-month old daughter. I started this group in the hopes of connecting with other folks with young kids and babies, making some friends for our baby girl and for ourselves as we don't know very many other young folks with babies or toddlers in the 'burbs! Parents--both moms and dads--are welcome!  Jewish couples, interfaith couples--all welcome!  We will start with some playdates and outings, and add things like Shabbat get-togethers or ju …

The Jewish community in the northern suburbs appears to be quite diffuse. There is the JCC, the JYCS, the BJE, JUF, the various temples, the PJ Library and so forth. This website is intended to be a non-synagogue specific resource for people who are interested in exploring a variety of Jewish activities. Please post events for families with children from infants to middle school and contribute to what I hope will become a robust discussion board (for example discussing suggestions for kosher lun …

Raising $20K & more to target the root causes of sex trafficking and provide rescue and rehabilitation, education and economic opportunity for survivors of sex trafficking in India. In collaboration with Off the Mat, Into the World, the Global Seva Challenge is based in the yoga community but is not limited to yogis and yoginis. Help us fight this $32 billion business that enslaves 6 million girls and boys across the world, 3 million in India alone.

For millennia people all over the world have argued, fought, and killed over religion, faith and worldview. It is my opinion much of this hostility is caused by misunderstanding and prejudice. In the spirit of better understanding and new friendship Interfaith Chicago will be a space to share good information, positive discussion and informal community among people of different faiths. It is not our goal to convince one another to change or to argue about who is right. While I have studied sever …

We started this meetup because finding good Jewish girlfriends in the city is, well.... sometimes difficult. Our purpose is to just get together, meet other Jewish girls around our age (20s-30s), and have a good time (without necessarily being at a synagogue or Jewish-themed). This group is not focused on whether you or single, married, or whatever. Its just about having more Jewish girlfriends! We are equal opportunity but... no boys allowed :)

So you're bored, I mean like really bored and you decided to sign up for meet up. There are some crazy folks out there and meeting them in private at a local spot still seems disheartening. He might be bald or she might have 10 kids and three divorce under her belt..yea, crazy shit. My goal for this meetup group is to occasionally hit up clubs/bars and dance our asses off. Maybe grab some last minute tickets to go see a-no-longer-in-his-prime-but-is-still-trying comedy show, a good laugh is alw …

This is a group for anyone interested in the study of difficult and controversial issues in Halakha and Jewish history. All those with a genuine desire to understand are welcome. I started this group because of my interest in how the slavery and the Jewish laws regarding slavery effected the origins and the character of the Jewish people. I divide the slavery in two broad categories: forced - e.g. enslavement of blacks in US - and voluntary - e.g. slavery under the Jewish law, where even becomin …

We started this group with the intention of finding other young (20s and 30s) Jewish families and singles to both celebrate and worship with. A few ideas are Saturday morning family-oriented services/play dates/brunch, parents-nights-out, Torah study/book club and holiday-specific events. More than anything else, we want to develop a Jewish family of our generation in the area, regardless of denominational attachment, or lack thereof. Interfaith, LGBT, multicultural members of "the tribe" are al …
