What is Kodesh* House?
Rabbi Marc Philippe is the visionary and spiritual leader of Kodesh House. As a pioneer who spreads harmony and love to everyone, he has created an innovative approach to building an independent Jewish community attracting Jews from all over the world.
With the challenges and realities of the 21st century Jewish way of life, Kodesh House offers a new and progressive space for people to get in touch with their roots. It is the modernization of Judaism that changes the way people worship while maintaining and respecting its traditions. As a cultural and spiritual home, people come to meet new friends, express and exchange ideas and thoughts, pray, explore, share enthusiasm, concerns, hopes and dreams then go home feeling empowered, connected, inspired and happy.

* Kodesh (קודש) = “holy” in the sense of being set aside for a sacred purpose.
We study together
Kodesh House is a community of learners. We study together both in the living room of Kodesh House or on Zoom. From Rabbi Marc Philippe’s guided Torah study to musically spiritual meditation, Kodesh House strives to allow everybody involved to grow, transform and connect while discussing ideas, thoughts and beliefs. Each session brings us to a higher and higher level in the understanding of G!d’s world.
We celebrate Life together
From weddings to funerals, conversions to brit milahs, the greatest blessings of being part of Kodesh House is sharing the cycles of life. Rabbi Marc Philippe’s greatest honor is to officiate for all of the life cycle events surrounded by those in our community. More importantly, our Kodesh House family is there for the celebrant in prayer, fellowship, and support, sharing the joy, tears and laughter.
We explore new things together
At Kodesh house, we come together to listen to our rabbi’s beautiful music, whether in prayer, meditation or the joy of joining in a niggun (a piece of music with no words except those we chant in our hearts). We have listened to musical bowls, practiced yoga, cooked exotic meals and experienced an Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Each adventure brings us closer together and heightens our spirituality.
All these things, and more, are Kodesh House.
Q & A:
Is Kodesh House kosher?
Everyone has different kinds of practices in their homes but, at Kodesh House, all food served is either home cooked by our family partners in our fully kosher kitchen or brought in from kosher certified establishments.
What if I don’t know Hebrew?
Many of those who join us neither read nor speak Hebrew. Our programs are filled with music and spirituality, joy and happiness. You don’t need Hebrew to feel immersed in the rhythm and ruach (spirit) of our programs.
What if I’m spiritual but not religious / religious but not spiritual?
This isn't a problem. Experience the magic of singing, praying or studying together!
We believe each voice is sacred. You may safely and respectfully express your feelings. We will listen.
Are you open to interfaith families?
Of course! Kodesh House welcomes anybody who is interested in learning, participating or simply listening to our Jewish programs. Everyone is welcome to explore with us.
What if I’m not Jewish?
Again, Kodesh House is open and welcoming to everyone. All that really matters is that you want to explore your spirituality and connect. If you’re curious, come discover with us.
