What they do

THE LOUISE D. and MORTON J. MACKS JEWISH CONNECTION NETWORK (THE NETWORK) is THE LEADING ENGAGEMENT FOCUSED AGENCY IN THE BALTIMORE JEWISH COMMUNITY. OUR MISSION is to EMPOWER and SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS to EXPLORE THEIR OWN JEWISH JOURNEYS, INSPIRING THEM to FORM LASTING CONNECTIONS to A DIVERSE, INCLUSIVE and VIBRANT BALTIMORE JEWISH COMMUNITY. WE SEEK to IDENTIFY, DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH, and DEEPEN THE JEWISH CONNECTIONS of PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN JEWISH LIFE. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS BY CURATING EXCITING JEWISH EXPERIENCES, FACILITATING PEER-TO-PEER CONNECTIONS, and SHARING RESOURCES for INDIVIDUALS of DIFFERENT ABILITIES, IDENTITIES, and LIFE STAGES. THE NETWORK ENGAGES JEWISH ADULTS AT ALL STAGES FROM THEIR TWENTIES THROUGH THEIR ACTIVE SENIOR YEARS. ACCORDING to THE MOST RECENT JEWISH POPULATION STUDY, THERE ARE NEARLY 40,000 UNDER-ENGAGED or UN-ENGAGED JEWS IN GREATER BALTIMORE. WE ARE CURRENTLY ENGAGING OVER 5,000 PEOPLE and SEEK to EXPAND OUR REACH and OUR IMPACT.
