9/21:
Tickets for Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur are available at the door.
BAYIT SHELANU, Hebrew for "Our
House", is being
forged to reach out to the many unaffiliated Jews and members of the
community in search of a Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur experience that
speaks to the heart, mind, spirit and soul. It is our goal with our
innovative High Holy Day services 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. Judaism provides a joyous opportunity to
add meaning to our lives. It also challenges us to be active in tikkun
olam, in repairing the world by living and participating fully in it.
Our services reflect that joy and meaning in the power of its prayers,
inspirational readings, and the celebration of song.
Services are open to all, especially
those not affiliated, who wish to reconnect or learn more about their
Judaism, any and all who wish to celebrate a common humanity and the
Jewish way of life. Bayit Shelanu will meet on the High Holy Days in
the Ackerman Grand Ballroom located at the center of the beautiful UCLA
campus. We are not in any way a part of the University but feel
fortunate to have facilities in such an accessible, central, and lovely
setting.
