As Jewish communal professionals, many of us grapple with the role of Jewish learning and how to strike the right balance between tradition without making it “too Jewish” for our constituents to engage. At Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh, Founder and Executive Director, Rabbi Jessy Dressin is exploring this question head-on as she and her team transform a century-old, formerly Orthodox synagogue into a place of meaningful Jewish learning and broad-based community building.
Experience Baltimore’s newest addition to the Jewish ecosystem and beyond. The site visit will include a tour of Shaarei Tfiloh, Maryland’s third oldest synagogue, time to learn about the vision for Third Space as it approaches a year since its opening, and a unique bet midrash (Jewish house of study) experience. Whether you’re extremely familiar with the bet midrash or have never stepped foot in one, we welcome you to join in – no previous knowledge is necessary to participate.
