Fall LEADS 2026
October 1, 2026 • Thursday, 6:30 pm - November 20, 2026 • Friday, 8:30 pm
LEADS brings together young Jewish adults for eight engaging sessions of meaningful conversations, authentic connections, and personal exploration of Jewish life and identity. You’ll join a small group led by welcoming volunteer leaders to explore Jewish ideas, traditions, and modern life in a relaxed, inclusive setting with sessions at JUF and in your leaders’ homes. Whether you’re looking to expand your circle, reconnect with Judaism, or discover your place in Chicago’s Jewish community, LEADS is a great program to connect, explore, and belong.
Open to Jewish adults ages 22–39, welcoming all backgrounds and levels of observance. If you are not 22-39 years old, please email [email protected] to learn about opportunities that may be right for you!
