The beth midrash at Magen David: five tall stained-glass panels glowing on a dark wall, a string of small lights above, and a wooden reading table with open books

The Downtown Beth Midrash

One city, many communities, one Beth Midrash. The Downtown Beth Midrash brings together students, young professionals, rabbis and Jewish organizations from across the city for one powerful evening of Torah learning every week.

Each participating organization leads its own habura or habruta-based learning group, while everyone gathers under one roof for dinner, serious Torah engagement and a shared closing session. Different communities, different styles of learning, one united Beth Midrash.
