Boomers
We know a thing or two, but love to learn. We are diverse: still working and retired; single, divorced, widowed, and in a relationship; have children, grandchildren, pets, plants, or none of the above; Angelinos and transplants. What we have in common is IKAR, a multitude of experiences, and a desire to spend some of our time enjoying events and experiences with those in our age group. Approximately 60 and above.
Join us every Friday online for Happy Hour at 5pm PT. Want to connect more? Email Rabbi Silver.
