Next Dor St. Louis

Saturday night, after hosting a screening of the Syrian Bride as part of the Saint Louis Israel Connection's (SLIC) Israeli Movie Series, over 60 young adults converged on the Next Dor House to help support disaster relief efforts in Haiti.  The even raised over $600.  To read the latest press on the event, click here.


By getting donations from Schlafly, Magic Hat, and Miller-Coors Brewing Companies, we were able to keep our costs down.  The event was dreamed up, organized, and executed in less then a day and a half and proves that Jewish young adults and their peers in St. Louis are caring and connected to the issues in our world today.  


If you  want to get involved, be sure to join our facebook page.  If you are a community member (young adult or otherwise) who would like to support our ongoing efforts please click here for donation information.

Moving from a just an event venue to a center for the community is no small feat.  That's why this past weekend was so exciting.


On Saturday, we had a few people over to hang out, and then were able to host Nishmah's Banot Buddies.  Nishmah is a group for Jewish women in St. Louis that offers different programming at a variety of age levels.  

Sunday morning started out with a group who helped us get rid of (eat) our leftovers.  In the afternoon, a group of young entrepreneurs, both in the for profit and non-profit world came over to learn about one another's ventures and talk about ways they could help each other.  A surprise appearance by area philanthropist and entrepreneur Michael Staenberg helped get the point across that we can connect people to important resources in the community.
