On Jan. 26, more than 30 new-to-
town and back-to-town NEXTGen
Detroiters got together for a special
edition of L’Chaim Detroit: Newish
and Jewish at the Corner Grill, Bar +
Game Room in Ferndale.
The event was aimed at those who
moved to town (or back to town)
between March 2020 and present
day and hadn’t gotten out much or
experienced all the awesome peo-
ple and exciting things Detroit and
Jewish Detroit have to offer.
“It was a fun evening of making
new friends and reconnecting with
old ones too, all while showing the
newcomers what NEXTGen Detroit
is all about!” said Lauren Soifer,
associate director of NEXTGen
Detroit.

Jewish Young Professionals of Ann
Arbor enjoyed an evening of ice
skating on Feb. 16, hosted by the
group’s Outdoors Club. The event
took place at Buhr Ice Arena,
which holds open skate on Sundays
and Wednesday evenings. The
weather was rainy, but that didn’t
stop the event from going strong, as
the arena is covered by a roof.
What was fun about this particular
group of attendees was that skating
skills ranged from first timer to
seasoned hockey player! Everyone
had a really great time together and
is looking forward to meeting again
for another outdoors activity soon.
The Jewish Young Professionals
division of the Jewish Federation
of Greater Ann Arbor caters to
individuals in their 20s and 30s.
