A large-scale EnerJew event held in Vinnytsia brought together dozens of new Jewish teenagers, marking a meaningful milestone in the development of the city’s Jewish youth club and the broader strengthening of its young community.

The program, titled “Master Jew Chef,” was the result of several months of dedicated work by the EnerJew Ukraine team in close cooperation with the local community headed by Rabbi Shaul and Chana Horowitz. This joint effort focused on building a more structured club environment, attracting new participants, and fostering a lasting interest among teenagers in Jewish life and values.

The event united both new participants and long-time club members, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. Working in teams, the teenagers developed their own kosher café concepts—from initial ideas and branding to preparing desserts and beverages, culminating in final presentations. The hands-on format encouraged creativity while also helping participants build skills in teamwork, leadership, and decision-making.

A key highlight of the program was the presence of the EnerJew Ukraine team led by Lena Kovylova, who traveled to Vinnytsia to lead the initiative together with the local club. Their involvement contributed to a dynamic and immersive experience, helping participants form a deeper connection to the project and to one another.
