The UJFT Society of Jewish Professionals (SOP) is an affinity group dedicated to educational, social, and philanthropic activities, and providing opportunities for its members to network, socialize, and engage with one another and the community.  Through a series of unique program offerings, the Society of Professionals introduces its members to local and visiting authors, speakers, and thought leaders – subject matter experts in their fields – offering exclusive out-of-the box educational opportunities. Past events have included: how to balance personal retirement portfolios; wine tastings and pairings; panel discussions on what’s happening in Hampton Roads and how it can impact individuals and businesses; medical ethics; and a virtual mission to Israel.  Through their campaign gifts, SOP members serve as role models to their peers, and they help to build and strengthen local and global Jewish communities.
