The House of Love and Prayer was not only a place for prayer, Torah study, and Jewish ritual. In essence it was a Jewish commune influenced by other experiential living communities in San Francisco, most notably the Kaliflower Commune founded by Irving Rosenthal, a Jewish writer living in the city. In that regard, members of the House of Love and Prayer had to contend with what it meant to survive everyday life in 1960s San Francisco.
Specifically at the House of Love and Prayer, this meant dealing with financial struggles, drugs, food, and ultimately a controversy over the separation of men and women during prayer.
