Widowers & Widows Social Group  

Group of Jewish widowers and widows who have lost his/her spouse either recently or in the distant past. This is not a dating service or a counselling or a meet/meat group, but it is a group of adult individuals who are interested in doing things with a group of people who have been through a similar loss as opposed to doing things by him/herself.  We meet for lunch on the 2nd Friday every other month at various restaurants.
