The Riverway Project is an inclusive, collaborative community for those in their 20s and 30s who want to connect with others grounded in Judaism, social justice, spirituality, and learning. No matter where you are on your Jewish journey, we’re excited to get to know you!
What We Offer
Spiritual Connection
The Jewish holidays help us keep a sacred time by marking the cycles of the year and providing space for rest, reflection, and memory. Our services are open to all who want to participate and feature a mixture of Hebrew and English, combining prayer and song with memory and meditation.
Learning
Each month, we gather together in a variety of settings to study ancient and modern Jewish texts that bring meaning to our contemporary lives. No Hebrew experience necessary and all are welcome!
Social Opportunities
There are so many other ways to get involved in the Riverway Project outside of Shabbat services. From social justice opportunities to cooking classes to book clubs, we offer so many ways to connect with other 20s/30s with similar passions and interests.
