Beineinu Information

Beineinu is a New York City-based initiative dedicated to cultivating personal Jewish pathways that resonate with the unique needs of our modern world. We build community -- between us -- by offering meaningful experiences for all people of all ages. Whether you’ve long been a part of Jewish life, or are embarking on something utterly new, we invite you to join our gatherings and develop your own customized endeavor with us. The concept behind Beineinu is the Havurah model: our leadership cultivates small communities formed from about 10 households, and implements a plan with each group. The group decides the content and the frequency of meetings, gathering throughout the year to explore and connect with Jewish learning and one another, developing and strengthening identity with relevance and meaning. Our first groups have come together in Brooklyn, Harlem, and on the Upper West Side. Connected to our mission for growth outside the traditional four walls, we also offer rich and varied immersive learning opportunities for people of all ages, from music classes to preparation for B'nai Mitzvah -- just look on our education page for more information. Beineinu also offers High Holyday services, Shabbat gatherings, justice-oriented change-making and service opportunities, and outings into our great city -- all open to the broader community -- which you can find on our calendar.
