We Want You for CBDYAG

As the Jewish calendar begins anew (Passover marks the first month, Nissan, of the Jewish calendar) it’s time do a little review and preview. CBDYAG is working on it’s calendar for the coming year. In order to do this we need your help. We want to hear from you.

Have you been to a CBDYAG event? Did you enjoy it? How did you hear about CBDYAG or the events we do? What didn’t you like? Why have you not been to an event? What events would you like to see? Are you willing to help make it happen? How do you prefer to learn about events? When is the best time for you to attend an event? Tell us about yourself and what you’re looking for? Our heart is volunteers! Thanks to everyone who helped with an event, you truly have made all the difference. I know for many of us planning ahead is hard and we shy away from making commitments. But we’d love for new volunteers to join our crew. Volunteering is truly a painless thing. “It was certainly a good feeling to see so many people show up and enjoy the Saturday night. This makes me want to get more involved in setting up similar events in future,” said GB, a bit shocked, after planning a successful evening of ice skating. There’s support to get the publicity done, and when we all pitch in together, it just takes a little bit of effort and time from each of us. Some things past volunteers have done is calling a place to schedule a visit, shopping for munchies, cleaning up, opening our home, or just bringing a friend to an event. Love to write? Join our bloggers. Our community welcomes you. We’ll be having a meeting to look at the calendar soon, so stay tuned. In the mean time leave us a comment or send us a message at cbdyag [at] gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you at a future event!

Congregation Beth David’s Young Adult Group for Jewish 20 and 30 somethings enjoys monthly events planned by volunteers from our community. Events range from social, religious, social action, celebrating holidays and more. We’re based in the South Bay. Don’t miss out on all the fun being had.

Our SF Adventure: Food for our Tummy’s and Thought

It was only just over a week ago when young adults from near and far, Pasadena, Santa Cruz, Redwood City, San Francisco and of course CBDYAG’s home turf the South Bay all journeyed to SF for a fun filled day. We met at the Mountain View Caltrain station and schmoozed our way up to the city. Once arriving we navigated our way via the Muni to the SF New York Deli in the Embarcadero Center.

We enjoyed our kosher deli sandwiches and got to know each other more while we ate in the outdoor plaza. While it was a bit breezy, everyone had a great time and really enjoyed their lunch. As JW summed it up “The food at the NY kosher deli was awesome!” We then walked up the street to the Jewish (Con)temporary Museum where we had a great tour. We look forward to their new home in a year. “It was the most fun I’ve had in a museum in years,” explains KB. Having a tour guide, who made us think and discuss the images, really made all the difference. Participants described the day as fun, interesting and enlightening. Everyone left with a smile and enjoyed the great views San Francisco has. See the pictures from our adventure.

Next Event: Tuesday, April 17, Movie Night see you there!
