Baltimore, MD - July 5, 2026 - On June 21, more than 100 women from across the Baltimore Jewish community gathered for an inspiring evening of connection, chizuk, and growth. The event, organized by Elevate and hosted at the new Ohel Moshe hall with the support of A Single Impact, The Amida Army, Elite Rise, and Let’s Connect, drew a diverse crowd representing a broad spectrum of ages, backgrounds, and stages of life. The women in attendance reflected the unity and diversity that defines Baltimore’s Jewish community.
Elevate, an organization dedicated to supporting young married women, fosters meaningful connection and Torah growth for women in the community. Through weekly chaburahs, Rosh Chodesh gatherings, shiurim, and special events, Elevate creates opportunities for women to engage with Torah, build relationships with mentors, and form lasting friendships.
The highlight of the evening was the powerful presentation given by Rabbi Zave and Rebbetzin Rachel Rudman, beloved mechanchim visiting from Eretz Yisroel. The Rudmans shared their deeply personal journey following Rabbi Rudman’s diagnosis with epilepsy, a challenge that significantly impacted their daily lives, including multiple daily seizures which necessitates stopping to drive.Their story highlighted how they navigated these difficulties while maintaining their Emunah and ability to see the yad Hashem throughout their journey.
The Rudmans’ message to the crowd was the importance of leaning on Hashem and trusting that He provides each individual with the tools needed to endure and grow through life’s challenges. Rebbetzin Rudman offered a poignant metaphor, comparing times of struggle to a tulip bulb hidden beneath the soil, unseen, yet quietly preparing to blossom. In time, she explained, the purpose behind our nisyonos becomes clearer, strengthening us in ways we could not have imagined. The Rudmans also highlighted the extraordinary support of the Jewish community during their journey, from meals and housing during treatment in America to occasional kumzitzes organized by family to uplift their spirits. The evening left attendees inspired, reminded of the power of Emunah, community, and resilience.
Elevate is grateful to Mr. Klugman for the tech setup and for helping to ensure the evening ran smoothly.
