Jewish Austin Men (JAMen) is dedicated to improving the lives of Jewish men of all ages and backgrounds as fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, friends, Americans and Jews through thought-provoking speakers and small group discussions. JAMen is also a great place to reconnect with old friends or make new ones in our fast-growing Jewish community.
