We are a collective of individual bridge builders led by a Jewish Renewal Rabbi and Rebbetzin. Members of this group may be Jewish or of another faith or belief system. Other guest leaders are included. We speak the universal language of music. We facilitate Jewish and Multi-Faith services that also include universal teachings from the new thought movement in a holistic way. We are inclusive and egalitarian.
Our commitment is to provide sacred safe space and sanctuary for all as we treat each other with love, respect, and equal importance.

House of Prayer for All Peoples, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation, was organized in the spring of 2023 to engage in prayer and spiritual practices led by Jewish bridge-builders with a focus on prayers, services, multi-faith services and gatherings, music, songs, and chants, along with affirmations and various forms of offerings from other faith and belief systems. Services are always free to the public.
