About Bayit Shelanu

Over a decade ago, our community came together to launch BAYIT SHELANU, Hebrew for “Our House”, reaching out to all who seek a Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur experience that speaks to the heart, mind, spirit and soul.

Our innovative High Holy Day services aim to inspire Jews to get involved in Judaism once again or to connect to it for the first time! Drawing on the richness of all denominations, we place an emphasis on the spiritual and the celebratory.

Our services reflect that joy and meaning in the power of its prayers, inspirational readings, and the celebration of music and song.
