Young & Jewish Stamford is a welcoming community for Jewish young professionals in Stamford and the surrounding areas. Through Shabbat dinners, social gatherings, outdoor adventures, holiday celebrations, and engaging discussions, we create opportunities to build friendships, explore Jewish life, and connect with something meaningful. Whether you're new to the area or have been here for years, you'll find a warm, inclusive community and a place to belong.
With a three-pronged approach of education, ground-breaking technology and human support we cultivate marriage-mindfulness, match people based on both their family and Jewish values, and coach them through the meeting and marrying process.
Meet the people, explore the sites, taste the food and feel the energy at our local and international Shabbatons and trips. Encounter Judaism outside of your box.
I moved to Boston DC for a job opportunity without any friends. I searched online for a young adult community and came across CYP Friday night dinner. I walked in alone but walked out with 20 new friends. My new friends introduced me to all the other great Jewish organizations in town and their events. I am now connected. Thanks

Before college, I felt Christianity had more spirituality than Judaism, attending church regularly. I even planned to baptize my children, along with my soon to be Christian fiance. Then I met Chabad on Campus, and realized that Judaism was fun, meaningful, and an important part of my life. CYP followed, and I discovered a depth to Jewish life and spirituality I didn't know existed. Now, I only date Jewish and I envision my future home with Shabbat dinners, and a Jewish day school for my children.

CYP business community has given me huge opportunities to make inroads and connections with people who I would have never dreamt of being able to work with. It has been a major help with bringing my new company to the world. I have also made some great new friends who I can look forward to seeing at each event.
