ChiTribe is at the forefront of redefining what Jewish life looks like in Chicago. Our mission is to create a vibrant, inclusive community that celebrates Jewish culture, traditions, and innovation. Through our central calendar of everything Jewish happening in the Chicagoland area, ChiTribe is building more than just events.
Make a Difference with Your Support
Has ChiTribe made a difference in your life?
At ChiTribe, we are more dedicated than ever to ensuring our sustainability and continuing our vital work within the Jewish community in Chicago. Every day, we are reminded of the significant impact our efforts have made—simplifying access to Jewish life in Chicagoland through our comprehensive central calendar, easy-to-navigate website, the innovative ChiTribe App, and informative weekly emails.
By the Numbers:
- 200,000K annual impressions through the ChiTribe website
- 5,000 participants engaged each year in accessible ChiTribe programming
- Over 20 unique programs a year (in the city and suburbs)
- 1,200+ events hosted annually on our calendar from over 100 Jewish organizations across Illinois.
These numbers represent more than just statistics; they symbolize a vibrant, connected, and growing community—a community at risk without adequate support.
The Risk We Face
Without necessary funding, the future of ChiTribe—and by extension, the central hub of Jewish connectivity in Chicagoland—is uncertain. Our role in facilitating growth, connection, and support within the community could diminish, affecting the innovative ways in which our community comes together.

ChiTribe has provided my link to the outside world during the pandemic. In the tumult of intensely loneliness living alone, and the fear and confusion of working in an industry kneecapped by an economic collapse, ChiTribe became a constant presence with weekly virtual Shabbat cluster dinners. I’ve made new friends and strengthened friends with those I’d had before. I’ve felt just as, if not more, connected to the Jewish community as before this entire crisis. ChiTribe enabled that.

What I find special about ChiTribe is that it attracts a group of people I have not seen at other Jewish events in Chicago and how well it is organized. There seems to have been a gap in Chicago that ChiTribe is able to fill. I appreciate the mixture of events and different ways to get involved.

ChiTribe has been a great way to connect, in person and now virtually, with new friends. They have a lot of events of different types and sizes, and have provided an important link to the Chicago Jewish community.
