Reset and Refresh
Take a Breath with Us
Reset & Refresh is a welcoming space for young couples of mixed heritage* to slow down, self-discover, strengthen relationships, and explore what Jewish life can look like–together. Rooted in the joy and beauty of Jewish tradition, this seven-session experience follows the rhythm of Shabbat to spark meaningful conversations, deepen your relationship and build community with other couples on a similar journey.
*Being mixed heritage includes combinations that cross religions, denominations, spiritual practices, race, ethnicity and backgrounds. Participating couples might include two people who identify as Jewish and have varied Jewish lived experiences and a couple where one member identifies with another religion or is an agnostic, along with many other variations.
Reset & Refresh is in partnership with The Associated’s Young Adult Division (YAD) and supported in part by the Meyerhoff New Jewish Family Innovation Fund, an endowment of The Associated.
Who This Is For:
- Ages 28-45
- At least one partner self identifies as Jewish
- Living in Baltimore throughout the program
- In a relationship for at least one year
- Do not have children/are not co-parenting children
- Feel curious about the role of culture and tradition in your life

Reset & Refresh was a unique and incredible opportunity to mindfully set aside time for connection to myself, my partner, other interfaith couples, and the local Jewish community at large. I am so grateful to have had the chance to engage in thoughtful conversations and creative activities with a group of such warm and inviting new friends!
