A permanent home for young Jewish life in Downtown Boca.
CYP DoBo has grown. 700+ young Jews, hundreds of Shabbat dinners, sushi nights, happy hours, and conversations that changed things. Now it's time to stop renting rooms and build something that lasts.
Your gift helps secure the first year and open the door.
Not a synagogue hall. Not a rented room. A Jewish home base for the next generation.
For years, CYP DoBo showed up wherever we could — borrowed spaces, rented rooms, pop-up tables. And it worked. The community grew anyway.
But a community this alive deserves a place to call its own.
The DoBo Loft is a permanent, flexible, beautiful third-floor space in the heart of Downtown Boca — designed for the way young Jewish life actually happens. Informal. Alive. Full of people who are glad they came.
The first step is simple: secure the Loft for year one. Once the space is secured, CYP DoBo has a permanent home base for Shabbat dinners, social learning, happy hours, roundtables, co-working, and the everyday moments that build Jewish community.
The room is the infrastructure. The impact is everything that happens inside it.
The Founding Partner model is simple: 12 people at $500/month for 12 months cover the first year of rent and get CYP DoBo into the Loft.
We already have 2 full Founding Partners, 1 half Founding Partner, and several launch gifts committed. Now we're closing the final $18,000 gap.

CURRENT MOMENTUM
12 Founding Partners at $500/month cover the full first year.
Friday nights around a real table, with real challah and real people.
Weekly conversations over Torah and takeout.
The best networking you won't realize you're doing.
Small-group conversations for people building something.
Competitive. Chaotic. Good for new friendships.
Creative evenings with space to make things together.
A quiet corner in the mornings when you need to get things done.
Late-night music sessions that go longer than planned.
This space is built to grow with the community.
The DoBo Loft is a third-floor lounge spanning approximately 1,000 square feet of interior space and a 360 sq ft balcony overlooking Downtown Boca.
The interior is designed to flex — lounge seating for Shabbat dinners, open floor for events, breakout areas for learning, and a kitchen/bar setup for the hospitality that makes CYP DoBo feel like CYP DoBo.
The balcony is for everything else: morning coffee, evening conversations, that one kumzitz that went until 1am.
The first-year access goal gets us in the door. The full DoBo Loft campaign allows us to build it properly — securing the space, completing the buildout, furnishing it beautifully, and launching the programming that will make it feel alive from day one.

You're building the Shabbat table where someone finds their first real Jewish community in Boca.
The room where two people meet and end up getting married.
The space where a young professional walks in uncertain and leaves feeling like they belong.
The DoBo Loft is the next chapter of CYP DoBo — and the founding partners who build it will be part of that story for a long time.
