Not Sure Where to Meet?
OU Offers Singles Hotel and Restaurant Discounts for Simchat Torah

The allure of coming to the Upper West Side for Simchat Torah as a single adult is often tempered by two dilemmas: where to stay and where to eat?  This year the Orthodox Union’s Young Leadership is excited to present a solution that may solve the problem.

This year, the OU is offering discounts at two hotels, three nights -- Friday, October 20-Monday, October 23 -- at either The Hotel Beacon, on 75th Street and Broadway, or at the elegant, newly renovated Excelsior Hotel on 81st Street between Columbus and Central Park West. (One-bedroom suites are available.)

Dining includes two elegant options.  Option one includes Friday night dinner, Shabbat lunch, Saturday night dinner and Sunday lunch at Levana.  Option two provides Friday night dinner and Shabbat lunch at Darna with Saturday night dinner and Sunday lunch at Levana.   The meals offer singles an opportunity to meet new people within a structured framework.

Director of special programs, Frank Buchweitz explains, “This is a very exciting time as we offer new opportunities and innovative new programs for the young singles community.  The Simchat Torah program, our first event of the year, will be sensational, and this is just the beginning.”

For information, or to make reservations for the hotels and/or meals, call 212.613.8300/8351 or the Hotel Hotline, 212.613.8188 during business hours.  Early-bird special rates (for hotel only) are available until October 2.

In addition, OU Young Leadership restaurant discount coupons are available for 32 different restaurants in the metropolitan New York area by calling 212.613.8300. The OU Young Leadership program has exciting events for single men and women throughout the year.  To subscribe to our e-mail list, log on to www.ou.org/lists/subscribe.htm and scroll down to the NY singles list.

The OU Young Leadership program is a division of Synagogue Services.

The Orthodox Union, now in its second century of service to the Jewish community of America and beyond, is the world leader in youth work, advocacy for the disabled, synagogue services, adult education and political action. Its kosher supervision label, the OU, is the world's most recognized kosher symbol and can be found on nearly 250,000 products in 68 countries around the globe.
