Around the Table:
Helping Today’s Teens


Welcome back to another episode of Around the Table with Beth H. Goldsmith, a series where we focus on what is important to the members of our Baltimore Jewish community. This time, Beth sits down with local parents, Mindy Silverman, Amy Uddeme and Ryan Lenet, to talk about the most pressing issues facing today’s teenage children.
