Jewish Young Professionals By Maya Williams, JYP Coordinator
T
he past months have seen exciting events for Jewish Young Professionals! Just after Passover ended, we gathered to celebrate with a themed Chocolate Seder and picnic. At this event, each item of the traditional Seder plate was represented with a chocolate item. We had chocolate eggs instead of hardboiled, bitter dark chocolate symbolizing the bitter herbs, and more. Together, we read through a special chocolate Seder Haggadah and, of course, we had four cups of chocolate milk!
In May, we got together for a Trivia Night at Riptide Brewing Company. We worked together as a team to answer the trivia questions, celebrated our wins and supported each other through our losses. A great time was had by all. We are looking forward to attending an Oneg and Shabbat service this summer at Temple Shalom and continuing to build community among young Jewish adults! Please contact me to get involved with JYP at mayajw3@gmail.com.
