Join us for a fun evening of networking and celebrating Chinese culture on January 30th at our Chinese New Year Networking Dinner!

Location: TBD (will be sent out to attendees in an email a few days before the event)

The Sino-Semitic Alliance is an organization that hosts cultural and networking events for Chinese and Jewish Canadians. Through these events, we aim to help our attendees develop their careers, whether it be with looking for mentors, obtaining industry advice, looking for clients for their small businesses/startups, or breaking into a new industry. We also aim to increase inter-cultural understanding and relations between Chinese and Jewish Canadians.

The Sino-Semitic Alliance will be hosting a networking event at a Chinese restaurant in downtown Vancouver on Thursday January 30th to celebrate the Chinese New Year (Year of the Wood Snake) from 6:30-9:00pm.

We hope you enjoy our networking event!

ABOUT CHINESE NEW YEAR

Chinese New Year, which is the most well-known Chinese holiday, traditionally celebrates the start of the year according to the Chinese calendar, which coincides with the beginning of spring. It takes place at the first appearance of the new moon in the new year, between January 21st and February 20th. Chinese people traditionally visit their families during Chinese New Year.

Chinese New Year is associated with making and eating various foods (dependent on region), such as spring rolls, during family reunions. Red envelopes with money are also given out amongst family members.

Perhaps the most well-known tradition associated with the Chinese New Year is the assigning of animals, and their symbolic traits, to each year in a 12-year cycle, with the upcoming year being the Year of the Snake. A lesser-known fact is that each year is also associated with an element (Water, Wood, Earth, Fire, Metal), with this upcoming year being the year of the Wood Snake.
