Base Logan Square is one of four Silverstein Base Chicago locations and it is located on the Westside of Chicago in Logan Square. 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.
