Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh
A place of belonging where you can stretch your mind, nurture your soul, find your people and safely try on new rituals, ideas, and practices. Located at the intersection of Jewish wisdom and 21st-century Baltimore, we are nourished by the past, built for the present, and co-creating the future.

About Third Space
Third Spaces is a place for making meaning and building community. We are grounded in Jewish culture, wisdom, and learning, and responsive to your curiosity, needs, and identities.
The “Third Space” or “Third Place” was named by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in the early 1990s, but the phenomenon has been around for generations. Third Space is the not-home and not-workplace spot where you can be with people you choose. It is the place where you can figure out who you are and then be that person. It fits you because you help make it.
