Hinenu: The Baltimore Justice Shtiebel is a community rooted in joy, pursuit of justice, and radical kinship. We offer a home for people of all backgrounds seeking Jewish life to land, feel safe, and be welcomed. We are a spiritual community that celebrates Diaspora Judaism through ritual, learning, song, and prayer. We are a Baltimore community committed to pursuing justice and to acting in fierce solidarity with our neighbors. We share and mark life cycle events, celebrating joyous occasions and supporting each other through healing and hard times. We hold space for diverse practices and navigate them together, reveling in the multitude of voices that comprise us. We strive to become for one another a mishpacha, one that rejoices in queer and trans identities, welcomes converts, celebrates interfaith families, and honors Jews of color. We assert that our political and Jewish selves need not be in conflict with one another, and fearlessly declare our intention to live our Jewish values in the public sphere for the benefit our city.
