Lehrhaus: A Boston Tavern for Studying Jewish Texts, Eating, and Drinking Beer

Come this fall, Boston’s Jews (and non-Jews as well) will have an nontraditional venue where they can learn more about Judaism. It’s a tavern, complete with food reflecting the Jewish diaspora, as well as beer and creative cocktails from a well-known bartender. Most important, there will be Jewish learning guides, events, and classes. That’s what’s planned for Lehrhaus, a place of learning that will be open as a restaurant and bar in the evenings, with the aim of popularizing Jewish study.

Quote: “Ultimately, we hope to prove out a concept for a new kind of institution that will exist in cities across the country, and will be as central to Jewish life in the 21st century as the synagogue, the deli and the JCC were in the 20th,” [Rabbi Charlie] Schwartz said in an introductory email.
