Shalom Social Club - Jewish Hangout for 20's 30's 40's

Join Shalom Social Club for our next Baltimore Kibbitz Happy Hour at Union Craft Brewing! Come unwind after work, meet new people, and reconnect with familiar faces in a relaxed, welcoming setting designed to make it easy to talk and mingle.
When you arrive, look for the balloons to sign in and make a name tag so it’s easy to find our crew and start conversations. We’ll have light facilitation and optional get-to-know-you activities throughout the evening—no pressure to participate, just friendly on-ramps for connection. We’ll gather for a whole-group activity at 7:00 PM to make introductions and help everyone feel oriented, and we’ll wrap things up with a raffle drawing at 8:00 PM. Union Craft’s spacious taproom makes it easy to float between conversations or settle in where you feel comfortable.

Shalom Social Club exists to help adults build meaningful connection and community by centering relationships, accessibility, and belonging over religious observance or institutional expectations. While this happy hour is hosted by Shalom Social Club, anyone aged 21–49 bringing positive vibes and an openness to connection is welcome. Whether you’re deeply rooted in Jewish life, loosely connected, or just curious, we hope you will come for a drink, stay for the conversation—we can’t wait to kibbitz.

When: Thursday, January 22, 2026 6-8:30 pm
Where: Union Craft Brewing, 1700 W 41st St, Baltimore, MD 21211

Twenty bucks covers donated seed trays, soil, cling wrap for safe transport and seed labels. Bring seeds to share or use some of Lindsay's.

Hamantaschen Bake & Mishloach Manot Party!

Come bake, fill, and package hamantaschen while getting into the Purim spirit!

### What’s Happening:

• I’ve got chocolate and plain dough ready to go.
• Choose from an array of homemade fillings: prune, raspberry, cheesecake, apricot, and pumpkin chai—and let’s get creative with even more!
• Pack up your freshly baked hamantaschen into mishloach manot with provided cellophane bags.
• Enjoy some cozy pumpkin soup and vegetarian nachos with beans while we bake!

### What to Bring (if you can!):

• A filling ingredient—whether it’s chocolate chips, nut butter, fun jam, or something unexpected, let’s get creative!
• Rolling pins
• Circular cutters (cookie cutters, glasses, etc.)
• Tupperware to pack up extra treats

I’ll cover the basics: dough, baking sheets, cooking spray, and a warm, welcoming space. My home is ingredient-kosher and pet-friendly, so plan accordingly.

I do ask that folks chip in $18 toward the cost of ingredients and space—but lack of funds is never a reason to skip out! Just bring yourself and your Purim spirit.

Looking forward to baking, schmoozing, and celebrating together!
