The Shul We Needed. So We Built It.
Bais Tefilah is a warm, traditional Orthodox synagogue in Henderson, Nevada—started by families like yours. Some came from LA, New York, or overseas. Some grew up observant. Most didn’t. But all of us are building something real: a Shabbat-rooted life our kids love now—and will want to inherit later.
What We're About
We’re not a big institution.
We’re not a program.
We’re a circle of families.
Immigrants, transplants, seekers, builders—who wanted more than services and events. We wanted Jewish life that feels grounded, human, and lasting.

Our kids play across backyards. Shabbat meals are shared. Services are traditional, led by members, and filled with the sound of something real—Hebrew tefillah, kids whispering questions, toddlers darting back and forth. It’s never out of hand. But it is alive.
What You'll Find Here
Rooted in Shabbat
Our services are in Hebrew and halachic—but not performative. They’re sincere, member-led, and held together by people who care.
Family Driven
Parents are involved. Kids have groups. The focus is on building a life where Judaism is lived—at home, at shul, and between neighbors.
Genuinely Welcoming
Whether you’ve been observant for years or are just taking your first steps toward something deeper, you’ll find honest community here—not pressure.
How to Step In?
We get it—showing up cold can be awkward. That’s why we keep it simple: Let us know you’re coming. Meet a few families. Join a meal.
We’ll help you get to know the place before you even step inside.
This isn’t about building a brand.
It’s about building the kind of Jewish life our children will want to inherit.
If that’s what you’re working toward—we’d love to meet you.
