Meet Jacob Wolf, a Community Connector with the Macks Jewish Connection Network. As a Jewish Dads Connector, Jacob is building a Jewish community for Dads in Baltimore. Below, he shares his jewish dad journey of connection, community and creating meaningful spaces for fathers.
I have always loved to engage and connect with others Jewishly, whether purely social, from an educational perspective or a religious one. I was first approached about becoming a connector with the Macks Jewish Connection Network in late 2023, when life was getting back to normal after the COVID pandemic. The loneliness and poor mental health of men and dads in general was extremely prevalent.
Becoming a Jewish Dads Connector was an amazing opportunity for me to take a hands-on approach to organizing connections, meeting others where they are Jewishly and making Jewish life in Baltimore just a little better for Jewish men and dads.
