WELCOME TO BARUCH* GUESTHOUSE
*Translated from Hebrew as “Blessing”
“Grace is when God gives us good things
that we don’t deserve. Mercy is when God spares us from the bad things we deserve. Blessings are when God is generous with both.”
Our wish is that all our guests may experience their stay at Baruch as a true Blessing.
