Young Jewish Professionals (YJP) Holds 40 Under 40 Winter Gala In New York City

Young Jewish Professionals (YJP) recently held its 40 Under 40 Winter Gala, honoring 40 CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, and rising corporate talent in the Jewish community. The annual event took place on January 27th, at Espace New York City, with over 1,000 members of the tri-state area's business class in attendance.

Each of the 40 honorees had graciously joined YJP's Mentorship Council, providing educational support and career guidance to young entrepreneurs in the greater YJP community. "It was a truly memorable evening. The sheer amount of talent in the room was astounding, we looking forward to seeing great things from the new additions to the Mentorship Council," said Ben Rohr, Director of Heritage at YJP.

After the ceremony, a grand party was held, bedecked with fine cuisine, and open bars with high-power networking. YJP will be launching many new initiatives throughout 2018, as it continues to grow its community of 10,000+ professionals and over 1,500 leading CEOs.
