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.
