Chabad Young Professionals St. Pete Brings Young Jewish Professionals Together for FLAME

The event will take place on the outdoor rooftop lounge at the new 18,000-square-foot Jewish Community Center in St. Pete.

St. Petersburg, United States, November 11, 2026 -- This December, Chabad of Greater St. Petersburg is turning its rooftop deck into a high-class gathering place for all Jews in their 20s and 30s to come together to celebrate joy, community and Jewish pride with FLAME 2026. Designed especially for Jewish young adults and young professionals, this year’s event reflects a growing momentum among St. Petersburg’s younger Jewish community to build a vibrant, welcoming Jewish future together.

Hosted at the newly built Chabad of Greater in downtown St. Petersburg at 533 4th Street North on Saturday, December 5, FLAME invites young Jewish adults from across St. Petersburg and beyond to come together for a night of celebration and connection that’s both fun and meaningful. They’ll meet new people, reconnect with friends and strengthen the bonds that help make St. Pete’s Jewish community a joyous place to be.

“FLAME was created for young Jewish adults who are looking for a real sense of belonging and a community to celebrate with,” said Mendel Lebovics. “This rooftop night is about showing up as you are, and leaving with stronger connections than you came with.”

The rooftop event begins at 8:00 p.m. Guests can dance or break away to enjoy gourmet latkes and an open bar to the music of a live DJ, leaving with a new holiday season of memories while gazing over the city’s lit windows and patios lined with twinkling lights.

Ticket sales open November 12 and will be available for purchase on Chabadyoungsp.com/flame.

“That is what having a joyous Jewish community can truly mean for young adults,” said one member of Chabad of Greater St. Petersburg regarding the event. “It’s not only about celebrations and gatherings. It's about the opportunities to grow, to connect more deeply with our Judaism and to experience moments that stay with us forever.”
