Our Vision + Mission
Our Why
Our vision at the Den is to create intimate spaces for intentional Jewish experiences of belonging where people feel seen, heard, and cared for; creating a culture where everyone has a rabbi they can talk to, learn with, and lean on.
We envision a community that is created by people, for people and with people who are seeking deep Jewish learning, meaningful self-exploration, and a true sense of connection in community.
The Den aspires to be a space where people experience a true sense of ownership and confidence over their Jewish lives. The Den empowers people to step into “firsts” as leaders in their homes, neighborhoods, the Jewish community and beyond - creating a world that is better - for everyone.
Our What
the Den creates intentional and intimate spaces of belonging in Jewish community with three unique elements:
One-to-one Rabbinic Relationships - We start with the person before us, ensuring that each person has access to a one-to-one relationship with a Den rabbi who helps them develop a personalized roadmap for their life journey.
Intimate Jewish Settings - the Den fills a void for those looking for intimate spaces that go deep. As we get to know people in our community, we work with them to co-create the Jewish community they truly yearn for – spaces of belonging for deep Jewish learning and living, self-exploration, and a real sense of connection with each other.
Leadership Empowerment - People in our community tell us how their experiences at the Den help build their confidence and ownership over their Jewish lives – feeling empowered to step into “firsts” as Jewish leaders in their homes, their neighborhoods, and throughout the broader community.
