JOGS (Jewish Outdoor Group of Singles) Remnants
Note: JOGS is no longer supported by the United Synagogue and is now solely run by volunteers. Neither the United Synagogue, nor the hike leaders, nor the web master, (nor your mother who suggested that you go hiking) are responsible for injuries; participation is at your own risk!
JOGS offers a low-pressure opportunity to socialize and meet new people while
enjoying an outdoor activity. No experience or equipment is necessary (unless
specified). Important: Don't forget to bring food and something to drink.
Following each event, those attending will have the opportunity to go out as
a group. In case of bad weather, an alternative activity may be planned. (Meet
at the starting point). No admission will be charged for events (unless specified).
Also, you
can join the Yahoo! group JOGS_NJ. Note: Similar events are also run by Mosaic of NY.
