New families to the school and neighborhood will be your people. If others are closed off then keep open to meeting new families. I assume new families come to the school at some point? People can be so closed minded about letting people into their world. I do not get it. Maybe try something outside of the synagogue etc.. I assume you are Jewish? [b]Try joining another group or activity.[/b] Also, try hosting a party or gathering once or twice a year. You must host things even if just low key to be reciprocated. Good luck. [/quote]

OP here. I've thought about this too, if nothing else, for a change of pace, but I'm struggling to come up with ideas. I don't really have any hobbies. I tried joining a book club through our local library, and while the women I met were nice, they were all at least 25 years older than me. [/quote]

Start your own book club.  If you have a list of 8-10 women who know each other, send a text and ask whose interested.  Lay out the rough idea and see who is interested.  You only need 3-5 people to show up to make it interesting. How mine works: we meet every 4-6 weeks to discuss a book, whoever chooses the book hosts the gathering, everyone is expected to host in a rotation.  When we meet varies, sometimes it's a Sunday brunch, sometimes it's a week night, sometimes a Saturday night.  If you can't come, oh well.  If you don't read the book, oh well.  We chat about the book, and other things.  Sometimes it lasts 2 hours, sometimes 4.  It just depends.  The host provides a few small snacks and the guests bring a bottle of wine (or what they like to drink).[/quote]
