Reset and Refresh

Take a Breath with Us

RR 1

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

RR 2

Being an interfaith couple wanting to have a Jewish home, Reset & Refresh helped us explore conversations in a safe space and map out the kind of values we wanted to have in our Jewish home together. We have made some great friends and even made a bowling league with some of them!
