Review for Jconnect Seattle, Seattle, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Jconnect is an amazing organization that has helped me and many of my friends get connected to our core social group in Seattle. It has been not just the quality of Jconnect events, but the variety and quantity. As a non-observing Jew I greatly enjoy the social spin on a lot of Jconnect events. Almost every holiday comes along with a great Jconnect event from Tu B'Av to Purim. I honestly can't measure how important Jconnect has been to making me feel at home in Seattle. The core organizer, Josh, makes you feel at home and without any pressure drives a desire to show up and participate.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Building my circle of friends in Seattle and celebrating Jewish holidays.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The life-long friends ships I've made

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Josh Furman. An amazing social organizer, event planner, etc. Can't imagine a better director of the program.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Reach out to a greater portion of the NW Jewish community. I would also love to see it expand to other areas (i.e. Bay Area). As a model of how Hillel can incoporate the post-grad crowed.

Ways to make it better...

I am on the younger end of the spectrum, so I would like if some events spanned 20-26 rather than 22-35.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month
