Why do you want to live in the Bayit? *
Your answer
The Bayit considers itself a safe space for Jews who support Israel. Support of Israel is by no means a requirement to live at the Bayit, and respectful dialogue is always allowed, but we aim to preserve a space where all members of the house feel comfortable and safe within their beliefs. Knowing that there will likely be a number of members who support Israel in the Bayit, do you anticipate any conflict between you and other members of the house and would you feel comfortable in this space? (this will not be shared with the members of the house or brought up by the RA's in your interview) *
