About Hey Houston
We keep the pulse on young Jewish life through our hub of connections, cultures, and experiences.
Our Mission
We believe young Jewish adults in Houston deserve an easy, welcoming way to find their place without insider knowledge. Now, everyone can forge meaningful connections and tap into Jewish life across the city. Hey Houston highlights events, resources, and opportunities that make community life easy to find and even easier to join. However you want to show up, Hey Houston can recommend a space for you.
Hey Houston's Origin: Created for Community
Hey Houston started when a group of young Jews in Houston realized it shouldn’t be so hard to find your place in the community. They wanted one spot where people could connect — whether you’re new to town or just looking to get more involved. With generous support from local philanthropists Bruce and Laura Shelby and the backing of Houston Congregation for Reform Judaism (HCRJ), the idea took flight. While Hey Houston is proudly powered by HCRJ, it stands on its own as an independent platform where any young-ish Houston Jew and show up, plug in, and find their people.
