Base Logan Square is the home of Rav Moshe, and Ariana, and their toddler, Toviah. Rav Moshe invites you, your friends, and family to come have lively discussions, laugh, learn Torah, creatively express yourself, eat delicious vegetarian food, have good drinks, and dive deep into the wonders of our shared Tradition through meaning making and community. Rav Moshe and Ariana hope their home will be a place where they can create a pluralistic Jewish community, deepen relationships, and make participants feel at home with each other and within Judaism.
