The Berkeley Bayit

Our Story

The Berkeley Bayit was founded in the Spring of 1980 as a communal living space for college students at UC Berkeley. This vibrant community was established by students seeking to create an environment that promotes active participation in progressive Judaism. Over the years, the Bayit has evolved into a welcoming home for students from diverse Jewish backgrounds, encouraging them to explore their identities and engage in communal living.

Impact

Providing a Jewish home for students, the Berkeley Bayit fosters a sense of belonging while supporting their exploration of progressive Jewish identities. The Bayit has successfully run numerous programs and events that engage both residents and the wider Jewish community at UC Berkeley.
