Cultural Programs
A little culture now and then never hurt anyone. When it comes to art galleries and jazz concerts, you are one excited atom and we don’t blame you. Welcome to the nucleus of all that is culturally relevant to young Jews. You’ll find reviews and upcoming events, and even more importantly, we will provide you with just enough information to show up other, slightly less cultured young adults.
Let’s get cultural.

Become involved with an innovative residential community where 4-5 young leaders take initiative on behalf of our community’s future. Live or play in an exciting residential home, launch your most passionate ideas, and receive a very generous reduction on their monthly rent. It is envisioned that a community event is organized each week that engages their peers outside the house. Events could include a potluck Shabbat, a community service project with JARC or a study session with a scholar. This community will be a hub for young Jews to create post-graduate Jewish life for themselves and others.
Tenants are currently living in the Midtown house but host multiple events every month!
