Are you a young Jewish adult? Do you know someone who is? We'd love to have you (or them) join the Young Jewish Professionals of Anne Arundel County! We are a group that organizes and runs events for people in their 20s and 30s (but no one is checking for IDs!). We’re neither a singles nor couples group, as both are equally welcome. Really, it’s just a bunch of folks looking to get together for social, social action, and Jewish-themed events. Upcoming events include Shabbat dinners and potentially some bowling. If you would like more information, or have ideas for events, please contact Ben or Elana Fertig at bfertig@liquiddirt.org, ejfertig@liquiddirt.org, or 410-266-8719.  You can also find our group on Facebook, or check us out at http://www.annapolisjews.blogspot.com/
