AJC ACCESS x NAAAP Mahjong Night
May 20 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM EDT
Join NAAAP & AJC Access for Mahjong Night! Learn Chinese Mahjong from an instructor, play a round, or watch and connect with the community!
NAAAP Atlanta is excited to partner with AJC ACCESS for a special evening celebrating culture, community, and connection through Mahjong.
Mahjong, a tile-based game originating in China in the 1800s, has since spread around the world. Known for its strategy, social nature, and beautiful tiles, Mahjong has long been played in homes, tea houses, and community spaces as a way for people to gather, converse, and build relationships.
In the early 20th century, the game was introduced to the U.S. and quickly gained popularity. By the 1930s and 1940s, Mahjong had become especially popular within Jewish American communities. Playing Mahjong became a cherished social tradition, bringing friends and neighbors together.
During this event, a Mahjong instructor will introduce attendees to the fundamentals of Chinese Mahjong. Beginners are warmly encouraged to attend—no prior experience is needed. Guests will have the option to join a table and learn to play or simply observe and enjoy the social atmosphere.
Come learn something new, meet other members of the community, and enjoy a fun and culturally rich evening with NAAAP and ACCESS Atlanta.
