Shavuot celebrates the moment we stood together at Mount Sinai — as one people, “with one heart”. 💙🌿

Wishing our Friendship Circle family a joyful and meaningful holiday filled with connection, community and sweetness.

The Young Adult Network had a great night together at Velum 🎲

The evening was filled with games, laughter, conversation and meaningful time spent together in community. It was so special seeing friendships continue to grow while members connected with both familiar and new faces throughout the night.

Moments like these are what Friendship Circle is all about 💜

Our FC teens had an amazing day at the zoo 🦒💛

Then & Now with Ally Weekley 💜

For Wellness Coordinator Ally Weekley, some of the most meaningful memories come from watching members confidently express themselves during programs like Open Mic Night and Friends on Air. Moments of creativity, joy and connection continue to shape the Friendship Circle community in powerful ways.

Ally shared, "Friendship means celebrating people for who they are while also showing up with support, comfort and encouragement when it matters most."

Thank you, Ally, for the kindness, energy and heart you continue to bring to Friendship Circle every day 💜

Rabbi Suzanne Offit shared, “When we talk about these topics openly, the stereotypes and negativity begin to melt away.”

Our FC community came together for a Fireside Chat on Loss, Support & Hope 💜

Led by Rabbi Suzanne Offit and Maggie Feinstein, the evening created space for honest conversation, reflection and community support around topics that are often difficult to talk about openly.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible moms and mother figures in our Friendship Circle community 💐

Our Mom’s Lunch gave moms a chance to slow down, reconnect and enjoy time together in community. Between handmade cards from members, beautiful flower bouquets and lunch shared around the table, the afternoon was filled with so much warmth and support.

We are so grateful for the love, care and strength our FC moms bring into this community every single day. Thank you for everything you do 💗

Tess Roth started her journey at Friendship Circle as a volunteer to now serving as Program Manager for Under 18 programming. Her journey reflects the friendships and memories that make this community so special.

One of her favorite memories was spending Winter Specials at SkyZone with her friend Zane, laughing, jumping and creating moments they still remember today.

As Friendship Circle continues celebrating 20 years, stories like Tess’s remind us of the impact of creating spaces where everyone feels seen, included and valued.

We are so grateful for everything Tess continues to bring to our community 💛

Yesterday was a beautiful celebration of community and connection at Friendship Circle 💛

We loved being part of the larger community Lag BaOmer festival, where our team handed out Rita’s to children and families throughout the day. Later, the celebration continued at Friendship Circle with music, bracelet making, birthday cake and so many meaningful moments shared together.

There is something really special about seeing people of all ages come together, celebrate and simply enjoy being in community with one another.

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us ✨

Last week, we hosted a mental health collaborative with Pitt REAACT, Jewish Healthcare Foundation and The Beacon 💚

We talked about supporting youth of all abilities and also got hands on with activities like building, creating and problem solving together.

It felt real, it felt needed and it was really good to see so many people in one room having these conversations 😊
