Tucked in the heart of Jamaica Plain, just steps from the Pond, Base JP is a part-time outpost for vibrant, creative Jewish life. Base Jamaica Plain is the home of Anna, Sam, and family. It’s also a place to gather for Shabbat meals, personalized learning, and artistic expression. We aim to blend tradition and experimentation with the hope of making our home an accessible, warm, and exciting place for you to explore your Judaism.
