This past Sunday, members of our NEXTGen Jewish Young Adults gathered at the Jewish Federation to learn to play Mahjong, the Chinese tile-based strategy game, instructed by experienced players Linda Cossman and Jean Ketchum — a great example of intergenerational learning and the power of community!









NEXTGen is your source for all things Jewish in Greater South Bend.
We’re here to help find meaning and build relationships in all facets of life, from professional and spiritual to cultural and communal.
The NEXTGen community is made up of 21- to 45-year-olds. So whether you’re a recent grad, a parent, a CEO, single, married, here for good or just passing through, we have something for you. And if we don’t have it, we’ll happily help you find it.
We host both adult-only events and family-focused programs that are designed to let our young adults and their children enjoy an outing together while building and strengthening friendships.
Past events have included:
Nature Hikes
Wine and Canvas
Regular Happy Hours at local restaurants and breweries
