We dedicate this evening to the Rebbe's legacy.

The Rebbe Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson The Rebbe’s unconditional love of people knew no bounds. To the Rebbe, all belonged.

It is this belief in Jewish unity, the notion that no one of us is complete unless all of us are included, that goes to the very core and essence of the Rebbe’s teaching.

It is this concept that motivates and guides The Friendship Circle.

Our Mission

The Philly Friendship Circle connects teens and young adults to youth with special needs and their families through a full range of social offerings. Inspired by the power of genuine friendship, our youth cultivate understanding, kindness and responsibility while ensuring a caring and inclusive community.

Our Programs The Friendship Circle offers a full range of dynamic programs including:

For Our Youth:

Friends at Home, Sunday Circle, Jewish Celebrations and Holiday Events, Field Trips, Mitzvah Volunteer Program (for 6th and 7th grade students), Private Bar/Bat Mitzvah Tutoring, Leadership Opportunities, Birthright Israel Trip

For Parents:

We are proud to present a Community Menche Award to Marsha & Darin Katz To us and our family, Friendship Circle has meant inclusion, acceptance, friendship, community, and most importantly, love. By providing our sons, Eli and Jonah, the opportunity to form friendships with youth with special needs, we have shown them that one never knows when a lasting and meaningful friendship may come one's way.

Our family has gained so much more from our involvement with the Friendship Circle than we ever could have imagined.� —Marsha and Darin Katz Eli, Jonah, Darin & Marsha Katz

To Chani and Zev Thank you for taking Friendship Circle to amazing places! You are an inspiration to us all.
