Jewish Empowerment

With a stark rise in antisemitism in recent years, it is more important than ever to make sure every person in Jewish Baltimore can feel proud and safe to live Jewish.

Throughout our network we provide numerous opportunities for community members to engage in programs that explore Jewish culture and heritage and connect to their Jewish identity so they can stand up with confidence in who they are.

Community Programming

During the year, we offer community-wide programming, like Partners Baltimore, that brings together members from across our diverse Jewish community to explore their Jewish identity, strengthen connections to Jewish values and discover the power of shared experiences.
