Introducing Balt Midrash, an exciting new opportunity for Jewish young adults (21-40 years old) to gather for deep, meaningful learning across Baltimore City. Spearheaded by pillar institutions within our city, you will learn with Rabbi Tyler Dratch - Beth Am Synagogue (Conservative), Rabbi Etan Mintz - B’nai Israel (Orthodox), Rabbi Andy Gordon - Bolton Street Synagogue (Reform), and Rabbi Jessy Dressin - Third Space (non-denominational).

Balt Midrash was inspired by the century’s old foundation of Jewish learning, the Beit Midrash, where our community comes together in a boisterous and loving space to learn Torah. Meeting monthly at venues across Baltimore City, rabbis from each organization will facilitate meaningful text study on various topics, such as commandedness, halachah, and holiness. We will learn in chavrutah (pair learning) to allow all participants the chance to meet each other and build strong relationships.

Proudly funded in part by the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Fund for the Enrichment of Jewish Education.
