Chicago Young Leadership Division (YLD)

08/06/2026

LEADS brings together young Jewish adults for eight engaging sessions of meaningful conversations, authentic connections, and personal exploration of Jewish life and identity. You’ll join a small group led by welcoming volunteer leaders to explore Jewish ideas, traditions, and modern life in a relaxed, inclusive setting with sessions at JUF and in your leaders’ homes. ✡🏠

Whether you’re looking to expand your circle, reconnect with Judaism, or discover your place in Chicago’s Jewish community, LEADS is a great program to connect, explore, and belong. Open to Jewish adults ages 22–39, welcoming all backgrounds and levels of observance. 💫🏙
