Our team of chefs and bartenders draw on the flavors of the Jewish Diaspora to create a new kind of Jewish food - one that combines tradition with culinary innovation.
Events, Classes, and 1:1 Learning
Lehrhaus serves as a contemporary house of learning for the 21st century offering a wide range of events, classes, and learning opportunities.
Work, Collaborate, & Learn as a Member
As a daytime member, you can use Lehrhaus as a co-learning space during business hours, collaborate with local educators, engage in paired learning, and enroll in exclusive daytime classes, or just use Lehrhaus to relax with friends or focus on your work.
Lehrhaus is a not-for-profit celebrating the vibrancy of Jewish life and learning.
Inspired by the Frankfurt Lehrhaus of 1920s Germany, Lehrhaus is a Jewish tavern and house of learning where people of all backgrounds can grab a book from the shelf, meet with a hevruta (study partner), take an interesting class, and delight in amazing Jewish food and drink.
We’re on a mission to make Jewish life more joyful, meaningful, and accessible through excellent hospitality and learning.
