ChiTribe’s first program in the Burbs was a HUGE SUCCESS! We started with a fantastic event catered by Schmaltz and Vinegear and the lovely Chef Jessica. From the first event, we saw 40 new people who are looking to connect. Since then, we have hosted happy hours and Shabbat dinners engaging over 200 Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s+ living in the burbs.
