North Center/Roscoe Village resident Eloise Bahrmasel named to Jewish "36 Under 36" list
North Center/Roscoe Village resident Eloise Bahrmasel, 32, (pictured above) has been named to the fourth annual “Double Chai in the Chi: 36 Under 36” list of young Jewish movers and shakers in Chicago.
(The letters of the Hebrew word “Chai,” which means “life,” also represent the number 18.)
This year’s list is replete with entrepreneurs, activists, fundraisers and more, running the gamut from rabbis to attorneys, camp directors to anthropologists… and, well, the list goes on. A complete roster of the honorees is available on the Oy!Chicago website at www.oychicago.com/36under36.

Presented by JUF’s Young Leadership Division (YLD) and Oy!Chicago (www.oychicago.com) – an outreach website for Chicago’s 20- and 30-somethings – the list spotlights the faces of Chicago’s Jewish future and recognizes the amazing contributions of this generation. The young professionals featured are noted for making a difference through their work, giving back in their free time, and earning distinction in the Jewish community and beyond.
“The incredible volume and quality of nominations for this honor has increased every year,” said Stefanie Pervos Bregman, founding editor and blogger-in-chief for Oy!Chicago. “If this list is any indication, the future of Chicago’s Jewish community is incredibly bright.”

“The beauty of this list is that it isn’t focusing on just one type of person or area of achievement,” said Michael Oxman, YLD president and a former honoree. “The purpose of this list is really to honor young Jewish adults from all walks of life who are making incredible contributions to our community, in whatever way is most uniquely meaningful to them.”
The 36 honorees will be celebrated at YLD’s “WYLD” party at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, at John Barleycorn, 149 W. Kinzie, Chicago. The party is open to the public. Tickets are $20 in advance, $30 at the door. To register, visit http://www.juf.org/yld/wyld.aspx or e-mail yld@juf.org. Register early – last year’s party completely sold out!
