Shabbat Bat Mitzvah in Jerusalem — for every kind of community

Our synagogue network includes dozens of Ashkenazi and Sephardi synagogues inside Nachlaot, and Reform and Masorti (Conservative) congregations about 15 minutes' walk away. We'll connect you with the one that suits your family.

A weekend for the whole building or a cluster of apartments is priced by your group. Every enquiry gets a tailored proposal the same day.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

  1. 1

    One conversation

    One person understands the group — how many people, which Hebrew date, which community.

  2. 2

    A same-day proposal

    One document: the apartments, the space, the extras and the link to the synagogue. No ambiguity.

  3. 3

    A weekday tour

    See the apartments, the space and the surroundings, and ask everything before you decide.

  4. 4

    A quiet Shabbat

    Everything is handed over in writing before Shabbat begins: who is responsible, where the keys are, when the hotplate goes on, where the synagogue is. No one has to look for us.

Questions

Questions parents ask

Is there a synagogue in the building?

We host the celebration — the meals, the lodging, the extended family. We don't hold services and we don't keep a Torah scroll. The Torah reading takes place at a neighborhood synagogue, and our role is to connect you with a community that suits you. No hotel in the city offers a choice between dozens of communities within walking distance.

Can we bring our own caterer?

Yes. The kitchen is a cold line, and that's deliberate — every community brings its own kashrut and catering. There is access to the space, unloading, a refrigerator and utensils.

Can we have the entire building?

Yes — from a single apartment up to 17. Sold in tiers: three apartments, a cluster, or the whole building.

What is set up for Shabbat in the building?

Three hotplates and two urns in the dining room. There is a Shabbat elevator. The locks are electronic, and for Shabbat you are given a mechanical key. All of it is handed over in writing before Shabbat comes in.
