About Lehrhaus

The world’s first Jewish Tavern and House of Learning, Lehrhaus is an entirely new kind of gathering space: a welcoming, stylish, smart, sociable neighborhood watering hole that brings people together. We’re dedicated to sharing Jewish culture through the wide-ranging flavors of the diaspora, culinary storytelling, and welcoming hospitality. Books, texts, and classes will be available to anyone interested in diving deeper into the traditional Jewish practice of text study. Lehrhaus will be a space for people of all backgrounds to experience Judaism through food & drink, ancient texts, poetry, literature, lively conversation, and more. Lehrhaus will offer a kosher, pescatarian, and dairy (no meat other than fish, no shellfish) menu to be as inclusive as possible to all diets. 

Why work at Lehrhaus?

Our hybrid not-for-profit model allows us to offer a great collaborative workplace. We want to build a better, gentler, more sustainable, and inclusive version of the restaurant industry. We offer manageable hours, competitive wages, great benefits, and room to advance. Following the rhythms of the Jewish calendar, the team will enjoy many Friday nights, Saturday days, and Jewish holidays off.
