Who We Are: Formally established in 2022, Young(ish) Families is a collective of folks with at least one child 0-8 years old looking to connect with our extraordinary Temple Isaiah community. Whether you’ve got a child or two enrolled in our education programs or you’re currently seeking out Jewish community and not yet members of a congregation, Young(ish) Families is for you! We offer meaningful social and spiritual connections throughout the year based on prayer, learning, Shabbat, holidays and much more. Our primary goal with Young(ish) Families is to form connections between folks and community-within-community: relationship building is at the heart of all we do, and we believe there’s nothing more important for folks raising young(ish) kids in West LA today than being part of a sacred, welcoming Jewish community alongside folks at a similar life stage. We encourage you to bring your energy, curiosity, and full selves to Young(ish) Families!
