Almost Shabbat Happy Hour for Young Jewish Lawyers

This week's and next week's learning is dedicated in loving memory of Harvey Potashman z"l, in commemoration of his yahrzeit. We are grateful to Meyer, Michele Potashman and family for generously sponsoring this week's learning in his memory.

Almost Shabbat is a new Friday happy hour series for young Jewish professionals in Boston.

Each gathering will focus on a different field and bring together people who are building careers, making connections, and figuring it all out together. Well have a featured guest to share a few insights and spark conversation, but mostly, it's an excuse to get good people in the same room.

Our first one is Almost Shabbat: Law, on Friday, July 17, from 4:30-6:30 PM.

If you're a law student, summer associate, junior attorney, clerk, public defender, big-law survivor, or whatever counts as "young" in your book, grab a ticket and come hang out. Expect good drinks, good conversation, and a room full of people who understand billable hours and Bluebook citations.

We'll have Shirley Paley with us to talk shop for a bit, but the evening is really about meeting other Jewish folks in the field, shmoozing, making connections, and kicking off Shabbat together.

Come by, have a drink (with 1 drink included with your ticket), and meet your people.

The target audience for this event is professionals in their 20s and 30s. However, if you are outside that range and are interested in attending, please email us at learning@lehr.haus.
