What this is

Chai means life, and it's also the number 18. A crew of guys from LA heads down to El Segundo to hang out with our Jewish neighbors. We wrap tefillin, bring Shabbat food, and sit down to talk Torah. Mostly we show up.

No membership, no pressure, no lecture. Just the Gondo's Jewish community, with more life in it. [PLACEHOLDER COPY]
