Thirty members of Let’s Connect! gathered at the home of Sara Scheller on Wednesday, August 6, to celebrate the completion of the organization’s first round of peer-led classes—known as Circles.
Let’s Connect! is a new organization (though its planning committee prefers to call it a community) dedicated to fostering Torah-oriented intellectual, spiritual, and social connections among frum women aged 55 and older.
The group’s debut event in May drew an overflow crowd for a lively afternoon of inspiration, reflection, and connection. Guests enjoyed a variety of activities, including a short stand-up comedy set by a local nonagenarian. The event also introduced the Circles program: small, peer-led groups built around shared interests.
The first round of Circles featured walking groups, hiking groups, chabura-style learning sessions, and a book club. Given the level of enthusiasm generated by the May event, it is no surprise that the Circles quickly filled to capacity. The August 6 gathering brought participants of all the Circles together to celebrate their shared learning, friendships, and to both deepen and broaden their connections to each other.
Let’s Connect! will host its next community event, “Preparing for Rosh Hashana: Heart, Hand, and Soul,” on Sunday, September 14, at 2:00 pm at Shomrei Emunah. Participants can expect Let’s Connect!’s signature blend of introspective moments, interactive experiences, and social connection.

Early registration is encouraged. Our last event was standing room only, and this event is expected to sell out quickly.
