Welcome to Olami Houston
Connecting Jewish Young Professionals in Houston to Community, Meaning, and Growth.
J-HYPE is now Olami Houston
What started as J-HYPE has grown into Olami Houston, part of a global network spanning more than 300 cities worldwide. Our rebrand reflects both our deep roots in Houston and our growing connection to a worldwide Jewish movement that inspires leadership, community, and Jewish pride.
J-HYPE was founded in 2019 with the goal of connecting Houston’s Jewish Young Professionals community together and providing a space and platform for inclusivity, leadership, Jewish learning, and growth. We feel that our heritage is rich with wisdom that can positively impact our lives and our relationships.
Everyone is welcome at Olami Houston, regardless of background, affiliation or denomination in Judaism. If you like being around other young Jews, and are looking to learn and grow, you’ll feel right at home with us! Our model capitalizes on the camaraderie created on trips, the warmth of the Shabbat table, and the invigorating interactive Jewish discussions among peers. With many community resources at our disposal, the sky's the limit!
Join our community and be a part of the magic.
