Social Activities in San Luis Obispo
Meets Fridays at 6:30 pm at The Den in SLO, CA. We’re forming a Life Group for young men with one purpose: to hold each other accountable and provide encouragement as we navigate the challenges of lustful desires. We believe there are far too many young men who feel alone in this struggle, unable to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. This group is designed to be a safe, judgment-free zone where you can open up, share, and be heard. Together, we’ll create an atmosphere of honesty, support, and accountability—lifting one another up and guiding each other toward the right path. RSVP: flames2025@gmail.com or flintjmiller2004@icloud.com. To join group, visit: https://myactivechurch.churchcenter.com/groups/young-adult-life-groups/slo-men-hosted-by-fabian-and-flint
While Cal Poly is in session, we hold Shabbat dinners every week. We primarily host students but welcome all community members to join. During any breaks (i.e. winter, spring, and summer break) please email office@chabadslo.com to see if there is a dinner. Shabbat Dinner Times: Winter: 6:30 pm, Summer 7:30 pm. You can always email Sophie at office@chabadslo.com to ensure there are no changes. We hold dinner in our tent, and at night it can be a little chilly, so please dress appropriately. We get many students for Friday night dinner, so please expect a lively and energetic atmosphere, rather than a more quiet evening.
