Silverstein Base Lincoln Park

Silverstein Base Lincoln Park is the home of Rav Sarah Mulhern, Rav William Friedman, and Liana, Shimon and Aryeh Mulhern-Friedman (aka the Friedherns). At Base LNCLN, we are working to create a special space where you can build a deeper relationship with others and with your heritage. Some stuff we do: delicious sacred meals, raucous discussion, invigoration Torah- and service-learning, and soulful singing. Wherever you are coming from and wherever you are going we can’t wait to connect. Silverstein Base Chicago is made possible through generous support from the Silverstein Family, Crown Family Philanthropies, Judy and Abel z”l Friedman, Anonymous, and JUF’s Breakthrough Fund.
