Reset and Refresh
Take a Breath with Us
Reset & Refresh invites young couples of mixed heritage* into a welcoming Jewish space for self-discovery, rejuvenation, deepening relationships, and building community. This seven-session program uses Shabbat as a compass to explore Jewish life, deepen relationships, and make meaningful connections with other couples.
* Mixed heritage couples come in many forms, including differences in religion, denomination, spiritual practice, race, ethnicity, and background.
This program is in partnership with The Associated, Jewish Federation of Baltimore, and Jewish Federations of North America.

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!
