Simcha hall and outdoor event space
Celebrate your simcha at Bait Aaron
A warm shul hall and a large covered outdoor simcha area at 3rd Street and La Peer, on the Beverly Hills border and a short walk from Cedars-Sinai. Daven, read from the Torah and sit down to the seudah, all in one place.
Two spaces, one address
A kosher event venue with room to celebrate
From an intimate shalom zachar to a Shabbat Kiddush for about 200, Bait Aaron hosts simchas of up to 300 guests across the indoor hall and the covered outdoor area, right at the shul.
The indoor hall
Our shul hall is ready for your simcha. Set long tables for a seudah, a buffet for a Kiddush, or rows of chairs for a siyum and divrei Torah. Because the hall is part of the shul, the davening, the aliyah and the meal happen without anyone getting in a car.
- Kitchen facilities for both meat and dairy
- Tables and chairs on hand, or bring your own
- Bring any kosher caterer you like, or let Bait Aaron cater it
The outdoor simcha area
Los Angeles weather was made for celebrating outside. Our large outdoor simcha area is covered and lit, so the simcha can run from a sunny afternoon into the evening. There is room for a big crowd to mingle, a long buffet, and space for the children while the adults say l’chaim.
- Covered, with lighting for evening events
- A grill for barbecue
- Brick pizza oven
The crowd favorite
Brick-oven pizza and barbecue
Ask anyone who has been to a Bait Aaron Melaveh Malka or a Yom Tov Kiddush: the food from the fire is what people remember.
Fresh from the brick oven
Pizza pulled straight from the oven, topping by topping, for a Melaveh Malka, an upsherin or a vort the kids will talk about for weeks.
Off the grill
Kabobs, burgers and barbecue grilled outside on the spot, for a bar mitzvah afternoon, a Sheva Brachot or a summer Kiddush.
Simchas we host
From a shalom zachar to Sheva Brachot
Every simcha is a reason to thank Hashem together. These are the celebrations families most often bring to a shul hall rental.
A new baby
Coming of age
A bar mitzvah boy can lain at the 9:30am Shabbat minyan, with the Kiddush steps away.
Weddings
Torah, memory and community
The location
Easy for every guest, even on Shabbat
Bait Aaron is at 301 S. La Peer Dr., corner of 3rd Street, where Los Angeles meets Beverly Hills.
Walk from the hotels
Out-of-town family can walk over for a Shabbat simcha: about 4 minutes from the Four Seasons on Doheny, 11 from L’Ermitage and 14 from Hotel Beverly Terrace. See all nearby hotels.
Near Cedars-Sinai
About 0.5 miles, roughly 11 minutes on foot, from the South Tower Street Lobby. A natural choice for a bris or shalom zachar when the baby was born at Cedars-Sinai. Shabbat at Cedars-Sinai.
Getting here
Guests driving in use street parking around the shul, so allow a few extra minutes on a busy day.
Guests walking on Shabbat can use our walking directions. Check the LA eruv status before carrying.
Planning
What to plan
- Pick your date. Check it against Shabbat, Yom Tov and the minyan schedule, then reach out early, especially for a Shabbat simcha.
- Choose the food. Bring any kosher caterer you like, or let Bait Aaron cater it for you. Brick-oven pizza and barbecue are always a hit.
- Tell us about the davening. If the simcha includes an aliyah, a Torah reading, a bris after Shacharit or a siyum, let us know when you book so it fits the minyan.
- Plan the room. Use our tables and chairs or bring your own, and decide whether the crowd sits inside, outside or both.
- Look after your guests. Book hotel rooms within walking distance for Shabbat, and share our Shabbat in Los Angeles planner with out-of-town family.
