The founders and supporters of The Shidduch Center of Baltimore understood, and continue to understand, the myriad nuances this chapter presents, and that it needs to be approached in an individualized fashion. Accordingly, they remain determined to ensure that no one in our community should have to go through it alone or without clarity. Bez’H, since its revitalization in 2015, The Shidduch Center of Baltimore has been meeting its mission to create and facilitate dating opportunities, and provide vital support for Baltimore’s daters and their families as they navigate their time in shidduchim, each person according to their needs.
Bez’H, under the guidance of local Rabbanim, along with its professional and lay leadership, and through its numerous and expansive programs and initiatives, the organization has seen significant and impactful growth. The Shidduch Center of Baltimore has helped thousands of our community members and has experienced notable success, and we look forward to assisting you, and many others, and seeing continued success for years to come, bez’H.
Boruch Hashem, The Shidduch Center has also become a prime destination for leaders of other communities looking to create their own shidduch initiatives, and we have been able, bez’H, to meaningfully assist in the establishing of many other initiatives across North America.
Born in Denver, Colorado, Rabbi Shlomo Goldberger was raised in Baltimore where his parents, Rabbi & Rebbetzin Menachem and Bracha Goldberger, came to lead the community’s newly-formed kehila, Congregation Tiferes Yisroel.
A graduate of Ner Yisroel high school, Shlomo subsequently learned in The Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia under both HaRav Shmuel Kamenetsky and HaRav Shalom Kamenetsky, and in the Mirer Yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel under HaRav Rafoel Shmulevitz zt”l. After returning to Baltimore and marrying his wife, Shlomo learned in the Ner Yisroel Kollel in the yoreh deah chaburah of Rabbi Yaakov Horowitz, Rav of Kehillas Darchei Tzedek. He completed his Masters Degree in Social Work at The University of Maryland in 2020.
Throughout his adult years, he continues to act as an assistant to his father in Congregation Tiferes Yisroel, giving shiurim and drashas, and serves on the shul Board, organizing events and fundraisers.
The Shidduch Center of Baltimore brought Rabbi Shlomo Goldberger on board in the fall of 2015, and he has been guiding the organization, with the support of its Rabbinic, Executive and General Boards, ever since.
