Baltimore Hebrew Congregation
Chai Life
Chai Life is the social community for 20s & 30s, provided by Baltimore Hebrew Congregation. Year-round gatherings bring new and old friends together and welcome all 20s & 30s in the Baltimore community. Events are created by our Chai Life committee, a group of members who are in their 20s & 30s, leading Chai Life to build fun and meaningful shared experiences.
We come together for everything from Shabbat dinners to restaurant nights, trivia season, trips to the theater, social action, Orioles games and much more. Most events are in Baltimore City, though we occasionally gather in Northwest Baltimore, Towson and other areas. Our committee is always open to new ideas for events, as all events are planned by the committee.

Jewish Museum of Baltimore
At the Jewish Museum of Maryland, our central charge is telling the story of Jewish Maryland and connecting people to Jewish experiences. The story of Jewish Maryland is deep, dynamic, fluid, and ongoing. We invite you to collaborate with us in the great task of telling this story.
Through generous capital investment, our Museum has been redesigned under the banner of “Building the Participatory Museum,” and that means transforming the relationship between the Museum and its audiences from presenter and viewer to collaborators and co-producers. We have redesigned the Museum’s architecture and updated its technologies to support a practice that prioritizes collaboration with community onsite and online.
The Jewish Museum of Maryland is embarking on the next era of its evolution from historical society to cultural center, and now: a fully formed 21st century museum. People hold a central position within our evolving practice. I invite you to join us in our work of enlivening the story of Jewish Maryland.
