About Us
Chosen Gatherings is fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are dedicated to awakening Jewish spirit and cultivating resilient, connected community for today and for generations to come.
We exist to create spaces where Jews and allies come together through tradition, celebration, and shared experiences. By weaving timeless rituals with contemporary culture, we inspire connection, cultural pride, and a true sense of belonging.
Through thoughtfully curated Shabbat dinners, concerts, salons, and holiday celebrations, we honor our heritage while reimagining Jewish life in ways that are vibrant, inclusive, and relevant for the next generation.
As a grassroots movement that has already welcomed thousands across New York, Los Angeles, and beyond, Chosen Gatherings stands at the forefront of reimagining modern Jewish community.
