Jews, regardless of affiliation, commitment, orientation or background. It is affectionately known as the "Bayit," which is a home – a place of love
and welcome. We are known nationally for bringing spirituality into the synagogue; activism on behalf of the oppressed; youth and teen
engagement; learning programs; and work on behalf of the elderly, the homebound, and those with developmental and physical challenges.
If these words resonate with you, if our Bayit has touched your life, then please join our growing membership.
