I Am My Beloved’s: NYC young adult couples cohort

With guided questions, texts, and discussion prompts, connect with your partner and other couples to explore essential conversations for navigating life’s journey, such as ritual, money, rest, and legacy.  This cohort is designed for beloveds - young adult couples on the road to committed partnership or early years of marriage. Jewish tradition offers a framework for meaningful conversations between partners committed to their shared future, with love; come ready for deep conversation and reflection! We celebrate and welcome you if you identify as Jewish, Jew-ish, interfaith, or queer, or are in a relationship with someone who identifies as such!

Registered couples will be asked to fill out an introductory questionnaire and offered a 30 minute session with Cantor Simkin so she can get to know you!
