Shoresh PGH - The world's first well-caffeinated shtiblLaunching in the Greenfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh PA in Early 2027
Rabbi Mark, along with his co-founder Frances Lasday, is currently working on a new project called Shoresh. Shoresh is a Jewish organization focused on learning, lifecycles, gatherings and prayer that is based in a coffee shop. Shoresh is scalable, non-traditional, and focused on the core elements of a spiritual community. Shoresh strives to break down barriers to participation in Jewish life. By meeting in an inviting social space where folks experience an authentic Judaism, Shoresh is unburdened by the weight and discomfort some feel in walking through the doors of a conventional Jewish space. Shoresh offers a space for Jewish classes from introductory to advanced texts for folks interested in nourishing their souls through study and discussion with phenomenal teachers. We provide a space for small scale, upstart Jewish communities to begin their life together as a minyan with all the tools and support they need to get going: a minyan incubator. In other words, Shoresh is a a well-caffeinated shtibl. For more information on Shoresh, click here. |
