Circles create social and cultural opportunities to deepen your connection with Beth Am and Judaism while building relationships with fellow congregants. Meet, socialize, and engage with other members who share your interests. Small circle groups gather on a regular basis, according to the group’s mission. Meetings may be in person, or virtual, depending on the group’s format and leaders of each group keep the momentum going. We’re dreaming big and are open to feedback. We hope to see Beth Am’ers connecting with each other around Baltimore and beyond!
