What do kosher wine connoisseurs, budding comedians, aspiring artists and Houdini-wanna-be’s have in common with finance-savvy professionals interested in learning about the most profitable investment strategies and Torah scholars looking to delve into the text of the Passover Haggadah?! The desire to meet their perfect match.

On Wednesday, March 29, at 7:00 PM, more than 200 single men and women in their 20s, 30s and 40s are expected to gather at Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun – 125 E. 85^th Street (between Park & Lexington Avenues) – for this very purpose: Meeting that special someone and learning something new in the bargain.

Choosing one activity from a potpourri of 9 interactive workshops, participants will be able to try their hand(s) at circus-style juggling, learn how to analyze handwriting samples, create their own oil paint masterpiece, discuss the ".com" phenomenon and pick up winning investment tips, play volleyball, experience the exodus from Egypt through a study of the Haggadah, sample some of the best kosher liquor or crack a few jokes – improv-style.

Following the workshops, all participants will gather for refreshments and a chance to meet and mingle. Admission is $5.00. (For the oil painting session, admission is $20).

For more information or to pre-register, please call 212.613.8188.
