A Women's' Night at the JGO Townhouse

Good wine, great sushi, fresh challah, and even better company!

Join us for a special evening at the JGO Townhouse as we roll up our sleeves, make and braid challah, and enjoy a night of connection, conversation, and a little Jewish inspiration.

Hosted by Aliza Sorani and her daughters, we'll bring together Jewish grad students and alumni for an evening of meaningful traditions and new connections.

Come for the sushi and wine, stay for the company, and leave with your own freshly braided challah ready for Shabbat!

Sushi, drinks & challah supplies included in ticket.

______

Hosted by JGO's Jewish Executive Women's Learning (JEWL) Initiative.

Ethical leadership in law goes far beyond bar rules—it’s about character, judgment, and the choices attorneys make when no one is watching. 

This session uses some of Seinfeld’s most hilarious moments as an unlikely but revealing lens on Jewish ethics, exploring what Jewish tradition teaches about integrity, responsibility, and leadership.
 

Good people, great food, and a little Chanukah magic.

Join JGO for a night of candle lighting, latkes, and meaningful connections as we celebrate Hanukkah and the Jewish community that brings us together.

Meet other Jewish grad students and young professionals, hear about opportunities to connect, learn, and step into Jewish leadership, and find your next way to get involved.

Come for the latkes, stay for the people (and maybe another latke).

Hosted in Pico at the home of Rabbi Matt Rosenberg, JGO Executive Vice President and Senior Rabbi.

This experience is part of NuRoots' Infinite Light festival. Discover the lineup at nuroots.org/infinitelight.

When does the law require us to help others, even when we have nothing to gain?

Join us this month as we explore how American law and Jewish tradition approach the duty to protect others, and what these differences teach us about rights, responsibilities, and the purpose of law.
