Whether you’re looking to meet new people in the neighborhood or experience this vibrant monthly gathering for the first time, all are welcome. This event is also inclusive of young families.
Location:
Private Residence – Wrigleyville, Chicago
(Full street address and entry details will be sent in your confirmation email after registering.)
Tickets:
Participant Ticket – Bringing an Item ($15): Select this ticket if you’re able to contribute a food or drink item to the dinner buffet. You’ll specify what you’re bringing during checkout!
Participant Ticket – Dinner Included ($30): Select this ticket if you’d prefer not to bring anything. Your ticket covers your full buffet meal, drinks, and event setup.
Food Guidelines:
Menu: Kosher Dairy & Pareve (No meat)
Store-Bought Staples Only: To keep logistics simple and maintain the host’s kosher home, we ask that all brought items be store-bought and sealed in their original packaging with a visible hechsher (certified kosher logo like cRc, OU, OK, or Star-K).
No Cooking Required! Please leave the homemade cooking at home—pre-packaged salads, bakery goods, dips, snacks, or beverages are all fantastic options to share.

What past participants have said
“I loved it… one of the closest I’ve felt to the joys of camp since being an adult and it really fed my Yom Kippur reflective experience.”
— 2025 attendee
“So glad I went!! I met such lovely people, so I was thrilled by the container and by being outside in a beautiful place! And I actually was able to connect with folks organically and make friends, which is rare at these events.”
— Leigh Goldsmith, 2025 attendee
“I had no idea what to expect when I came last year. What I found was laughter, goofy moments, surprisingly deep reflection, and a group of people I left feeling deeply connected to. Highly recommend keeping an open mind — you’ll be delighted you did.”
— Shaily Hakimian Armstrong, ChiTribe Board Chair, past participant
