Our Events

jBaby Chicago Parents Only

This parenthood game is no joke right? We work hard all day and sometimes we need to take a moment for ourselves. Spend time with jBaby to unwind, connect with others and meet new members of your village at a Parents’ Nights Out (and In), Book Club, or Parent Connection Groups (IE 35+ parents, working parent, Hebrew speaking parents, etc).

JUF Young Families programming is enriched by the diversity of our participants. We know each family is unique and all are welcome. Please email us at youngfamilies@juf.org if you have any questions or if you require any accommodations to make our programming accessible and welcoming to your family.
