WHAT IS JEWISH COHOUSING?
Cohousing is a form of intentional neighborhood, characterized by private homes connected by extensive common facilities, in which residents know their neighbors well and engage deeply in community life. Residents regularly come together for shared meals, group activities and spontaneous hangouts. Common facilities are co-owned and co-managed by all the residents and often include a dining hall and kitchen, indoor or outdoor recreation spaces, a lounge, a community garden, a children’s playroom, guest rooms, an art or exercise studio, a workshop, office space, and shared vehicles. The building is designed around creating opportunities for natural interactions between neighbors, such as needing to pass through the dining hall to reach your home and maybe bump into neighbors playing games there. It's a wonderful model of living for all ages where people build intergenerational bonds and support one another.

Jewish cohousing creates a modern Jewish village for the 21st century. These communities nurture connectedness — among residents and to Jewish life — by infusing day-to-day life with Jewish community, tradition, culture, and values. Picture group shabbat meals and holiday celebrations, shared Jewish art projects, and sharing family traditions with everyone. Jewish life isn't something reserved for holidays or synagogue. It becomes part of the fabric of everyday living.
Jewish cohousing is non-denominational and welcomes all types of Jewish observance from culturally Jewish to traditionally observant. It's built with the intention of accommodating for those who may keep kosher or shabbat. We also proudly welcome families of all backgrounds, including those from other traditions and LGBTQ+.
