Ever notice that at every Jewish event or Shabbat dinner, the conversation seems to eventually circle around to the same topic… dating?! We invite you to explore this endlessly fascinating subject further with a social hour and panel discussion on all things sex, love, and dating within Judaism and our Jewish community.
We’ll dive into topics like the impact of dating apps on modern relationships, Jewish perspectives on sexuality and intimacy, navigating the Philly Jewish dating scene, and more. Breakouts and discussions will create opportunities to mingle and meet other Jewish daters who may have similar pain points, experiences and stories as you do! Please note that although the subject of this event is dating and it is primarily designed for singles, individuals of any relationship status are welcome to attend.
Beginning at 6pm, enjoy a happy hour with drink and bar bites on the outdoor balcony (with views of Independence Mall and the Liberty Bell!) where you can meet new people and maybe even find someone you want to continue these conversations with.
The panel discussion will begin at 7pm. Panel in formation includes:
- Rebecca Bassman, local licensed marriage and family therapist
- Michal Naisteter, Tribe 12 matchmaker and founder of Michal Matches
- Jarod Estacio, founder of the community/dating app Grid
- Moderated by Elana Burack, a Tribe 12 constituent, and Danielle Selber, founder of Tribe 12’s matchmaking initiative
