Karen sits down with Emily from the Your Jewish Life content team to chat about one of the trickiest parts of adulthood: making friends - especially Jewish ones! They speak about their respective experiences - Karen’s in London and Emily’s in NYC - along with sharing some crowdsourced advice from members of the Smashing Life community. The bottom line is, it’s not easy - but if you’re dedicated and willing to put yourself out there, you CAN make it happen! And if you need a little help, join our Jewish Connection Challenge, happening right now!   Here are some of our top suggestions for making new Jewish friends: - Host or attend a Shabbat dinner      - Find a Jewish roommate     - Work at a Jewish organization or business     - Ask your friends (Jewish or not) to connect you with their other Jewish friends     - Join local Jewish Facebook groups     - Go on a Jewish group trip, or attend a Jewish retreat or conference     - Take a Hebrew class     - Reconnect with some old Jewish friends, if you’ve got them     - Volunteer for a Jewish charity     - Wear some Jewish jewelry, or something with Hebrew on it     - Join our Smashing Life Community     - Sign up for the Jewish Connection Challenge     LINKS:   Smashing Life, my community for Jewish women https://smashinglife.club/   Jewish Connection Challenge https://yourjewishlife.co/connection   OneTable https://onetable.org/   Hen Mazzig’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henmazzig/?hl=en   Hazon Jewish Food Conference https://hazon.org/calendar/hazon-food-conference/   Ariel Tidhar https://www.arieltidhar.com/
