We’re a not-for-profit, Jewish tavern and house of learning on a mission to put gathering, joy and text at the center of Jewish life through exceptional hospitality and Jewish learning. 

Inspired by Franz Rosenzweig’s Freies Jüdisches Lehrhaus or Free Jewish House of Learning of the 1920s, Rabbi Charlie Schwartz and Joshua Foer founded Lehrhaus as a new kind of Jewish space that integrates Jewish learning, community and food in unique and engaging ways.

Our Lehrhaus aims to revive and modernize Rosenzweig’s institution for today’s world, creating a vibrant, and delicious, hub for Jewish life that is open to all.
