Base Logan Square

Base Logan Square is located on the Westside of Chicago in Logan Square, and it is the home of Rav Moshe, 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 our home will be a place where they can create a pluralistic Jewish community together, deepen relationships, and feel at home with each other, within Judaism, and in their home! 

Silverstein Base Chicago is made possible through generous support from the Silverstein Family, Crown Family Philanthropies, Judy & Abel Friedman, Anonymous, and JUF's Breakthrough Fund. 

Anna & Fred Doppelt Base Andersonville

Anna & Fred Doppelt Base Andersonville is the home of Jonathan Posner, Hannah Swirnow and their family located in the heart of Chicago's glorious and delicious Andersonville and they can't wait to get to know you.

Rav Jonathan and Hannah love hosting people for meals, learning, and lively discussions that they believe forms the bedrock of any strong community. Rav Jonathan and Hannah seek to help you feel at home and find your place among the Jewish People and in Jewish Tradition. Says Rav Jonathan, "If you're on a path, we'll walk along with you, if you need a path, we'll clear one together, and if you're at the door, we'll help you through it!"
