Over four Wednesday night sessions, including an upscale dinner and open bar, young professionals will each be paired in small groups with a passionate and successful Jewish industry executive and mentor. Each week they will engage in a topic about professional success through discussions drawing on Jewish teachings and values.

Professional Circles is intended for Jewish professionals in their 20's & 30's who are looking to build a community that is committed to balancing business and Jewish values.
