Berkeley’s Jewish College Student Cooperative

Our mission is to provide a home for progressive Jewish living, learning and events for both the residents and the Berkeley Jewish college student community.

Each year, 11-12 students live in the Berkeley Bayit and work to create a fun, distinctly Jewish, communal living environment. More than just a living space, the Bayit is a community initiative. We run programs for the wider UC Berkeley Jewish student community and strive to make the house a home away from home for Jewish students of all backgrounds. We have eight bedrooms, a bay view, and a kosher, vegetarian kitchen to accommodate different levels of kashrut observance, a big living room and a garden. We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood near the stadium in a historic Julia Morgan house that overlooks the campus and the Bay.
