Looking to meet and network with young Jews across L.A.?
Join us for JFEDLA’s third Emerging Philanthropists rooftop Happy Hour of 2025 in Venice Beach on Tuesday, August 19th from 6:00–9:00 PM in Venice
This event brings together Jewish young adults (ages 21–40) who are building community, giving back, and making a difference in L.A., Israel, and around the world. Whether you're looking to expand your professional network, find new friends, or connect with others who care about shaping the future of Jewish life, come join us.
What is the Emerging Philanthropists (EP) Community?
EP is a community of young Jewish adults (ages 21–40) who are making a meaningful impact through their support of the JFEDLA’s Annual Campaign.
EP offers a series of donor societies and giving levels, each designed to deepen your connection to Jewish life in L.A., Israel, and around the world. Through exclusive events, leadership opportunities, and hands-on experiences, EP empowers the next generation of Jewish changemakers to build community and lead with purpose.
Already made a donation and are part of the Emerging Philanthropist community?
Amazing! Bring a friend and share why you invested in the future of Jewish L.A.
Is it your first event, and you aren’t an Emerging Philanthropist yet? No problem!
You’re invited to attend your first event — no donation required. Come, have fun, meet new friends, and learn more about this community of generous young Jews.
Were you one of the 175 people who came to the first two Emerging Philanthropist events, but haven’t made your donation?
Now’s your chance to take the next step and join at the Emerging Philanthropists giving level. For less than $1 a day ($360/year), you’ll be part of a community that:
- Cares for Holocaust survivors
- Helps Jews in need
- Sends kids to Jewish summer camps
- Combats antisemitism
- Supports our Israeli family
- Strengthens Jewish identity for generations to come
It’s not just about giving. It’s about belonging — to a community that cares deeply, shows up, and takes action.
We look forward to seeing you on August 19th!
Warm regards,
Jordanna Ahdoot McQuade, Jaymie Rubin, Ross Karetsky
