We are new to Monsey and my husband is looking for both a way to meet people and also a once a week night out. I am fully in support of that. He enjoys poker so there any weekly poker games in Monsey for men? Not looking for high roller games just a regular good game for men who know how to play and enjoy it and want to have a night out.
He enjoys baseball as well as the shvitz, and other hobbies as well but he’s a bit shy and I want him to get a social life I’m Monsey
We are chassidish if it matters.

Sure there are games and It’s a great chill for the men my husband is part of one no mo he involved it’s purely for social and always in someone house. But usually you get into the group through people that know you.

Yes it’s a game no money involved and it’s always in someone’s house it’s men only!

Why the judgement? If you don’t have anything helpful to add why respond? I specifically said I am not looking for high roller games. They play with small money. I don’t see that a guy isn’t entitled to spend a couple dollars a week for a few hours of fun amongst other frum Jewish men. No different than what is ladies spend money on whether it’s a manicure or ice coffee or purchased lunch or anything for they matter.

Again, they don't play with money.
OP, most men hang out with their friends. I don't think there are such groups that are open to the public. Vibes is a great idea. It's on College Road.

There's nothing wrong with men hanging out and chilling once a week. Chinuch doesn't come in here.

All your comments are beyond nasty. And what about you? You get to treat people like this?

But as frum Jews we should have standards.
And if we don’t, if our yiddishkeit is about appearances and the surface we have a serious chinuch problem. As a society, we’ve missed the boat. (And this is without me throwing around Chazals and halachos)
