Etz Chaim: Meeting Jews Where They Are

Etz Chaim has been a cornerstone of informal Jewish education for decades, fostering community, connection, and inspiration. Last year, we took the bold step of selling our Fords Lane facility to better align with where our community gathers—and that decision has already proven transformational.

Our Federal Hill success story continues to flourish. The enthusiastic response from young professionals and graduate students has been beyond our expectations. To meet this growing demand, we've expanded our team with Rabbi Menachem and Eli Flom, who now host vibrant Shabbat programs at our Federal Hill facility. Our strategic move to this location has created a thriving hub of Jewish life.

Our adult programming is experiencing remarkable growth too. Across all our offerings, we're seeing increased participation that reflects our community's hunger for meaningful Jewish connection and learning.

Most exciting of all, people are demanding our programs. The enthusiastic participation across all demographics shows that our approach to Jewish education and community building truly resonates. Adding to this momentum, we are thrilled to announce the purchase of a beautiful new facility at 2905 Old Court Road—a picturesque property surrounded by trees that is currently being renovated and will open soon, please God, to serve as our flagship location as we continue to grow.

We need your partnership to sustain this incredible growth!

Our goal is to raise $325,000 to support our expanded programming across multiple locations and ensure our growing staff can continue serving our thriving community.

Sustained Growth: With participation growing across all demographics, your support ensures we can maintain quality programming for young professionals, graduate students, and adults throughout Baltimore.
