Dear Cuban Hebrew Community,

It is always good to make new friends, and for acquaintances to become friends too. For various reasons we find ourselves single later in our lives. Good friends can fill a void we may feel from time to time. There are new people coming into our community all the time. We are a warm and welcoming Temple. But it is not easy to make friends. We are looking to restart a social group for single seniors members. To be real chevra, a group of friends who value each other’s company, we need to find activities we want to share, and good times to meet. 

So here is an informal survey, please respond. (contact@cubanhebrew.com) We can have a relaxed meet –up at the temple for those who are interested to begin.

- Do you prefer to meet during the day, evening or either is good?

- Meet for coffee, lunch, dinner – any preference?

- Outings –movies, theater trips, museum trips – club with live music?

- Classes – art, music, dance, yoga?
