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