About Us

MetroImma began its life in the Jodi Samuels lounge. Jodi & Allen were talking, that while there are many mom sites, non address the specific needs and desires of Jewish mothers. Jodi and Allen have been long time family friends and after sharing many beers on a beach, they decided to start a site that provides a Jewish twist to the standard areas that interest moms and that's how the professionals that bring you MetroImma united. The team brings attitude, passion for city living and extra-ordinary marketing skills to MetroImma!

Our vision is to be the destination site for Jewish Mom’s to socialize, connect and network. We will provide the platform, the tips, the resources and you create a community.
