Tribe 12 Testimonials
"I met my friend, Sarah, at the Singles Murder Mystery Shabbat! We bonded over Taylor Swift, stayed at the museum talking for hours afterwards and haven't stopped talking since! I adore her, couldn't imagine my life without her and am so eternally grateful to Tribe 12!" -Lisa G, 23, Bryn Mawr
"Tribe 12 has been my central source of community and learning since I moved to Philly. Through classes, programs, a retreat, and co-leadership of the 30s Tribe, I have immersed myself in all that Tribe 12 has to offer. I have benefitted from the insights of peers while talking about topics like Judaism and feminism and Jewish mysticism, a rare opportunity as a 30-something to have a space to learn alongside peers at a similar life stage. I have connected with my creativity and spirituality through music circles, art-making opportunities, and Jewish rituals. From kitchens where I have learned to make pasta and hamantaschen to the trails of the Wissahickon where I have hiked with the 30s Tribe, Philly has become a place of exploration, learning, and community for me thanks to Tribe 12." - Sarah S.
"My husband and I aren’t originally from Philadelphia, and we initially struggled to find a community of peers in our shul. We found ourselves in an “in-between” stage - married but not yet starting a family - and didn’t quite fit into the existing groups. The Couples Cohort was a game-changer for us. Friendships developed naturally through the program, and now we’re attending two weddings this year for friends we met through it. I wish we had joined before our own wedding so we could have built this sense of local Jewish community sooner. We’re excited to continue growing together and sharing future life stages with this group." -Blair B, 31, Old City
"My Jewish community is developing at a fast and exciting pace here in Philadelphia and it’s 100% due to Tribe 12 and the awesome people I’ve met. I appreciate that this org does not require that we practice Judaism in any particular way; rather we are all embraced regardless of where we personally land on the spectrum of cultural and religious Judaism. That’s part of what sets Tribe 12 apart in my view." -Andrea B, 32, Ardmore
"Tribe 12 has helped me build a Jewish community here in Philadelphia. While this process does not happen overnight, the more you put yourself out there, the more wonderful people you will meet in the community. Tribe 12 has been a key facilitator of this for me. When you are genuinely yourself and are able to make lasting connections, you realize that Tribe 12 is a great and safe space with many other people that are also trying to connect. You might not click with everyone as 'besties', but when you make a great friend, you will know it." - Eli S, 29, East Passyunk Crossing
"I am queer and secular and had a hard time in college and in my early adulthood finding a Jewish community that made me feel like I could be my whole self in. So I was without a Jewish community for about 10 years, and definitely have felt the absence. But in 2025, I finally decided that I needed to start looking again for that community. At Tribe 12 I felt accepted almost immediately. One of my first events was a queer Shabbat dinner and it was such an affirming experience to feel like I found not just a Jewish community but a queer one too. And it was definitely the event that made me want to stay engaged with Tribe 12. I have also taken some of the classes with Rabbi Megan and Rabbi Molly and love that I can continue my Jewish education on so many interesting topics such as mysticism and LGBTQIA+ life. In those classes and other Tribe 12 events, I have met so many wonderful people. I think it is such a green flag that this organization has so many regulars engaging in activities and really fosters friendship building." - Carly C, 29, Center City
