ARBAYIT
The Arbayit Story

If Arbayit speaks to you, we invite you to join us, whether through a gathering, or quiet first step. There is no right way to arrive. Just come as you are.
Arbayit was co-created by Menachem and Mushka Dalfin as a space rooted in Jewish meaningful connection for like-minded individuals.
The vision for Arbayit was born from their own years of healing and the process of coming home to themselves.
Today, they aim to share these experiences and insights with others, offering a space for authenticity, growth, and connection.
Menachem and Mushka’s journey began over seven years ago as they navigated challenges such as addiction, mental health struggles, and a loss of self and identity.
What followed was a period of deep healing through various modalities, including 12-step recovery programs, plant medicine, breathwork, somatic practices, and a range of therapeutic approaches.
Today, Menachem works as a psychedelic coach, and healer, offering men’s breathwork and group work. While Mushka serves as a therapist, facilitator of women’s gatherings, and healer. Together, their paths have led them to create Arbayit - a space dedicated to fostering healing, connection, and safety within the Jewish community of Baltimore.
The name Arbayit combines two Hebrew words: Arba, meaning “four,” and Bayit, meaning “home.” The number four symbolizes the four directions, the four elements, the four matriarchs of the Jewish people, and the four seasons, all representing grounding, presence, inspiration, and coming full circle. Bayit - home - represents returning to ourselves, to the inner space where we feel safe, whole, and connected.
At Arbayit, Menachem and Mushka integrate the wisdom and modalities they’ve gathered along their healing journeys to guide and inspire others who are ready to follow their own hearts and come home to themselves.
Arbayit is committed to creating spaces of emotional and spiritual safety. Participation is always invitational, not prescriptive. Our offerings are not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and we encourage participants to honor their own needs and seek additional support when necessary.
