Triple Chai (Ages 54+)

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, and film festival screenings. 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.

Upcoming Events:

 

A Walking Tour of the Old Jewish Quarter of Philly, with Lunch

Sunday, September 22 @ 11:00 am
$10 per Participant
From the 1880’s through the 1920’s, the area between Spruce and Christian Street and 2nd and 6th was the Philadelphia equivalent of New York’s Lower East Side. Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe created a community with a Yiddish theater, literary societies and newspapers, synagogues, banks, bath houses, and delicatessens.
Led by congregant Jerry Silverman, this two-hour tour will cover two miles and is capped at 20 participants: first come, first served.
The tour will begin at the front steps of Mother Bethel AME Church at 419 South 6th Street at 11:00 am. After the tour, participants are invited to join us for lunch at Isot Mediterranean Cuisine, a delicious Turkish restaurant (622 S 6th St, Philadelphia).
