Friendship Circle

A place to connect and belong

​

For more than 40 years The Friendship Circle has been bringing people together to lunch, laugh and learn.

Come enjoy great company, good food with people who share your life experience.

 

We also provide social support, encourage community involvement, and counter the effects of isolation — bringing Jewish events and outreach to individuals in the community who cannot come to us.​

​

We welcome everyone!

All adults are encouraged to ask about membership.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Table Settings

The Friendship Circle is especially important to myself and my sisters as a way to maintain contact with other Jewish Seniors. We share similar life experiences, as elders, and, especially as Jewish people.

Having a group of Jewish Seniors to identify with has been a re-creation of family for me.

My mother, my husband, and I have been members of the

Friendship Circle since its inception more than 30 years ago.

My mother, turned 103 in May. We still take part in most, if not all of the Friendship Circle events.
