Teen Shabbat Dinner

Teen Friendship Shabbat was a huge success! This month, we took a trip to the Tuscan countryside—right from our Shabbat table. Friends gathered to enjoy a delicious Italian-inspired meal, great conversation, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It was the perfect way to end the week, surrounded by friendship, laughter, and incredible food. We can’t wait for the next one—stay tuned for more unforgettable Shabbat experiences!

FOTT Wellness

The Friends on The Town Wellness crew had an absolute blast during a game-filled workout session with Coach Mike from Empowered Fitness! From playing “Wreck it Ralph” and “Is it Cake?” to diving into fun relay races, the group had so much fun, they forgot they were even exercising! There was laughter, dancing, and even some shadowboxing happening all around. Everyone agreed—it was such a great time and we can’t wait to do it again! We’re already looking forward to the next FOTT Wellness event!

From making rainbow fruit kabobs to crafting faux stained glass windows, everyone had a blast bringing color to the season. One of the highlights was painting rocks with fun designs and uplifting messages to place around the neighborhood—spreading joy to all who find them!

It was a wonderful afternoon filled with art, friendship, and a little springtime magic. We can’t wait for more creative fun ahead!
