Table for 8: Adas Torah’s Third Singles’ Friday Night Dinner and Oneg

Ariella Teichman

On Friday night, August 4th, singles from the L.A. community and beyond gathered together for a lovely evening planned by Rabbi and Mrs. Revah, Daniel Sacks, Nechama Simon, and Ariella Teichman.

Tfor8, or Table for Eight, is a model used in Australia in which singles are appropriately placed together at meals in order to have the opportunity to meet one another. Eight singles, four men and four women between the ages of 22 and 34, had Friday night dinner together at one of nine Adas Torah families’ homes, followed by an oneg where everyone had a chance to meet one another over dessert.

The oneg brought together over 100 participants and 13 facilitators, including Rochelle Frankel, a successful shadchanit in L.A. and assistant event planner for Let’s Party. The turnout was unprecedented. The facilitators have been busy following up on ideas that were generated from the evening. The response and interest in such events has been enormous and we look forward to more to come.
