What we’re about
We aim to be an intimate group of single Jewish girls 55+, looking to support one another in this next stage of personal journeys, while enjoying the best life has to offer these days, without missing a beat !
Women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to deal with stress and difficult life experiences. Physically, this quality “girlfriend time” helps us to create more serotonin – a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and can create a general feeling of well-being. So every time you hang out to schmooze with a gal pal, just pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for doing something good for yourself! Let’s toast our friendship with our girlfriends. ![img](https://ericadiamond.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/girl-friends.jpg)
My meideles, as the organizer, it is a pleasure to bring you together, but it is also a huge responsibility. Most of you are dear friends of mine for a very long time, some of you are newer friends, and some others are just acquaintances with whom I have found certain affinity and connections. I feel responsible to moderate the dynamics of the group to a certain extent, understanding my limitations of natural affinities.
1. Vetted Admission: I hope we are all looking for quality friendships, not quantity. Please refrain from inviting people without discussing it with the organizer. Admission to the group will be vetted. We do not intend to seem exclusive or standoffish. Let's just explore our common interests, and lifestyles, and make sure we like one another before letting this group become too big. Let's see how this works and if we are a girlfriend "match"... LOL...Even at our age, a lot of hormones may be running amock.
2. Values: Kindness, Courtesy, Respect, Tolerance, Compassion. No hate speech or bullying, victim shaming, bigotry, racism, not even as a joke. Make sure everyone feels safe. I hope we can all live in this virtual space in peace !
3. Girlpower: WOMEN ONLY ARE WELCOMED. I would encourage each one of you to try to be here for one another. Our lives are rollercoasters and we are trying not to feel alone, control triggers, or at least have support when the not-so-great moments visit us. Please respect confidentiality when it is requested from you. No gossiping about one another in the group, please.
4. Hosting: Please only post activities and events on this platform, not in the group chat. It will keep it more organized, and it will give ownership and value to each one of you, as you suggest and manage an activity/event/outing. The amount of work involved only depends on your choices or suggestions.
5. Activities: See below in the green tags
6. No more for now... let's have fun together !
YOLO - You Only Live Once - let's do it the right way !
