Triple Chai is Society Hill Synagogue’s social group for congregants ages 54 and older. Chai (with the “ch” pronounced like in “challah”) means “living” in Hebrew and is a word formed by two Hebrew letters whose numerical value totals 18. Hence Triple Chai!
Recent Triple Chai programs and activities have included outings to theatre and a meal, specially guided tours of local art galleries, film festival screenings, and renowned speakers. We welcome all adults ages 54 and older — singles and couples — to join us and build deeper and wider bonds in a fun, welcoming ambiance. For more information, please contact Robin Cohen and Natalie Landro at triplechai(at)societyhillsynagogue.org.

The Rosenbach is a Philadelphia museum and library nestled within two 19th-century townhouses. Established in 1954, the museum showcases the remarkable collections of Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach and his brother Philip H. Rosenbach — featuring rare books, historic manuscripts, and literary treasures in an intimate, historic setting.
Come for the food, stay for the history — or join us for both!
