You’re doing your best to learn. You’re showing up. You’re lighting candles (sometimes), reading books, Googling things you thought you should already know. But somehow… it still feels like you missed a memo.
If Jewish life feels like everyone else got a guidebook and you’re just trying to build something real with duct tape and curiosity—you are not alone.
Whether you’re in the conversion process, just starting to explore, or deep in the work of turning ideas into practice, you deserve more than vague advice and spiritual overwhelm.
You deserve real support. Structure. A way forward that fits your actual life.
That’s exactly why I created Bayit Builders—my new membership program for people building a Jewish life from scratch. No performance. No perfection. Just honest support, practical tools, and a space to grow.
In the video below, I’ll walk you through what it is, why I built it, and how you can join us as a Founding Member.

Feeling overwhelmed by Jewish life like everyone else got the guidebook and you didn’t?
You’re not behind, you’re just building.
Hi, I’m Kochava, a Jewish convert and educator
who’s been walking alongside people in the conversion process since 2010
at the blog Building a Jewish Life.com.
I know how confusing, isolating, and overwhelming it can be to build a Jewish life from scratch. If you’re navigating Jewish conversion, exploring Judaism, or trying to actually live what you’ve been learning…
I made something for you.
A space where you don’t have to figure it out alone.
It’s called Bayit Builders my new membership program for people who want real support, not just checklists. Don’t worry, there’ll be checklists too. Have you met me?
Inside, we’re gonna plan together, learn together, and build Jewish rhythms that fit your real life.
Not an idealized version of it.
Bayit means house or home in Hebrew. But it’s more than just four walls and a roof.
In Jewish tradition bayit represents belonging, rootedness, and spiritual structure.
A bayit is where the Jewish life is lived,
taught, and passed down.
In Bayit Builders, we’re not just learning the facts.
We’re laying the foundation for a meaningful Jewish life.
One practice, one choice, one step at a time.
Whether you’re just beginning or deep in the process, this is a place to build your bayit, your Jewish home, your Jewish self. Brick by intentional brick.
Starting Sunday, June 29th, 2025, the Bayit Builders membership registration is going to open, but only for eight days.
This will be the only time you can join until Elul later this fall,
right before the High Holidays.
If you know you want support now, this is your window.
Doors will only be open for eight days and then they’ll close so we can fully focus on the members inside.
Come build with us while we’re laying the foundation of this new group.
This is your chance to join as a Founding Member. Shape what we’re building together and lock in the lowest price it’ll ever be.
So mark your calendar for June 29th.
This isn’t about being perfect.
This is about having support while you build something that matters.
