YABA provides opportunities for young adults in their 20s and 30s to socialize, learn, and celebrate Jewish holidays with new and familiar faces. 

YABA traditions include Shabbat Dinner in the Sukkah, Latkes & Vodkas Shabbat Dinner, Purim in the Chood, Let My People Party, and the Erev Shavuot Tikkun and Dairy Dinner.  We also hold Havdalah followed by social events, learning events, as well as other fun events throughout the year.

YABA events are open to members and non-members, singles and married, and those with and without kids. Are you newly married or engaged? If so, click here to check out our newly forming group, Jewlyweds!
