Book NowRay Alyssa Rothman knows firsthand the need for premier singles events in Atlanta. After realizing there was a clear missing opportunity in the Jewish singles community around Atlanta, she took matters into her own hands and started creating engaging, interesting events for the audience, she herself was a part of. This prompted her to host a series of Jewish singles parties in Atlanta in 2013 and 2014.
Today, Ray Alyssa Rothman’s idea has evolved into a more comprehensive, even more engaging forum with an online communications arm. Kibbitz & Konnect is an ongoing series of events focused on connecting Atlanta’s Jewish singles and professionals.
Organized as a not-for-profit organization, Kibbitz & Konnect offers new, fun, and exciting social events such as networking meetings, theatre, music concerts, dining, dancing, and Shabbat dinners to enable people to meet, connect, and get to know one another.
“Kibbitz & Konnect is unique in that it offers a greater variety of events and types of activities specifically targeted to a broad age range of Jewish singles,” explains Ray. “No other group or organization will command such a leadership role in bringing the best of Atlanta to Jewish singles.”
Kibbitz & Konnect is partnering with a wide variety of Jewish affiliated organizations to both help with programming and to promote awareness within the community. “Engaging Atlanta’s Jewish singles to mix and mingle is what this program is all about!”
In the past year, we’ve had the privilege of organizing a multitude of events that have met with resounding success. Here’s a glimpse of some of those remarkable past events.
