Coolanu (Hebrew for “all of us”) brings together Society Hill Synagogue congregants across and within generations for fun outings, arts and culture programs, and specially curated social gatherings at the synagogue and select locations.
Highlights from this past year have included our sukkah building and decoration, Salsa & Sips in the Sukkah, a Philadelphia Architecture and Public Sculpture Walking Tour, a performance of Camp Siegfried at Theatre Exile with a post-show talkback with the director, a special evening at The SPACE Art Gallery, and Phillies Jewish Heritage Night.
Stay tuned for details about upcoming programs. Please reach out to Coolanu Co-Chairs Lesli Reich and Elliot Landes at coolanu(at)societyhillsynagogue.org with your thoughts and ideas. If you would like to join our Coolanu Committee, we’d love to have you!
