Olam Tikvah Hazak

Hazak

Sometimes called "USY for the young-at-heart," Hazak is USCJ's senior social group for adults aged 55+. Hazak means "strong" and we gather strength from the community we form in each other's company.

Join us for our many and varied activities. In addition to the special Hazak events listed below, you'll often find our members at Adult Education programs, as well as in Sisterhood, Men's Club, and other OT groups.

Events

Parade at Ford’s Theater, Sunday, October 2, 2:00pm. The Tony Award-winning musical drama Parade features the true story of Leo Frank’s trial and lynching in early 20th-century Atlanta.
