Hello Asian Jewish Chicago! You know what they say, new (lunar) year, new LUNAR hub. Prepare yourself for all you can eat hot pot, some casual Jewish learning, and perhaps a board game or two. This is a brand new hub, people—so join us in helping shape what it looks like at its first event.

This event is open to Asian American Jews. LUNAR defines ‘Asian American Jews’ as folks who identify as both Jewish (whether by heritage, religion or culture) and Asian American – this includes mixed race folks, transracial adoptees, Asian Jews by Choice, and more. We fully welcome those in the process of converting to Judaism, or simply exploring Judaism.

This event is free to attend, with a suggested donation of $15. Donations help to cover food, supplies, and venue costs. Whether or not you choose to donate, your food will be covered for this event! But donating will help offset the cost, and make planning for future events easier.

Also some photos may be taken to commemorate this hub’s inaugural event, but if you are uncomfortable having your photo taken that’s totally cool—just let us know day-of and we’ll be chillin.

For any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to this event’s organizer: Kai Hakomori, at chicago@weareasianjews.org.
