Review for Jconnect Seattle, Seattle, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Jconnect is one of the most welcoming places you will ever come across. This organization has built a community where it is easy to find everything from an intellectually engaging discussion to interacting with group while out for a bike ride. In my case, I found a bunch of Argentina Jewish compatriots and soccer buddies that helped me made the transition from my life on the east coast of the US. I also found excellent Shabbat dinners, a great Rabbi who led my conversion to Judaism, the ultimate testament of how welcoming this organization can be. Over the years, an orderly continuity of great leadership has preserved the culture by ensuring that a retiring Rabbi transferred his knowledge to a new generation. JConnect is an outstanding setting for spiritual and social community building that has transformed my life, and over the years, the life of many young people in Seattle.

Taking classes, participating in spiritual and intellectually engaging discussions, found a circle of people interested in the hobbies I am interested on, while building a stronger Jewish community.

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

I took classes and I converted to Judaism while I was a member of Jconnect. I believe that was the ultimate testament of how welcoming this organization can be.

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

Outstanding and engaging, smart and funny, intellectually and academically prepared to interact with a highly educated community.
