Erin Moseley is an energetic and forward thinking 27-year-old who, this past August, became the new director of young adult programming based out of the Jewish Alliance of greater Rhode Island. She combined and rebranded the former programs (The Alef List and The Network) that previously served this population into an entirely new entity called The RING, which is shorthand for Rhode Island’s Next Generation. The RING is open to anyone ages 22-45 interested in group activities that range from traditional Jewish practices, like a Shabbat dinner, to going out to restaurants and bars, to participating in various sports. A recent event in late November was titled Vodka & Latke, and it was a Hanukkah celebration held at Vanity. The $18 event included a free drink and food, plus there was a mitzvah project connected to collect school supplies for a youth village in Israel. “This was 100% social,” Erin explains. “It’s for people to meet, to network, to hang out and celebrate Hanukkah.” She is always looking for feedback to see what people are most interested in doing. “I’m not just programming for you, but for myself,” Erin says. “I care about this community because it’s also my community.” For those interested in learning more about The RING you can visit their Facebook page, or you can contact Erin directly through email at emoseley@shalomri.org or by phone at 401-421-4111 x108. An interesting event coming up in February is a Pinot and Print class, where participants will get to sample wine while learning the skill of print making from artist Leslie Friedman. An exhibit of Leslie’s work that plays off the theme of stereotypes will be at the Alliance JCC gallery starting January 10th. There are athletic programs available for RING, like free pickup basketball, to specialty sports, like archery, rock climbing, skiing/snow boarding, hiking and in the spring, sailing lessons. For those 22-45 looking to participate in Jewish oriented and non-Jewish oriented activities, The Next Gen program is a great place to meet others and have fun.
