Engaging Programs & Meaningful Connections

 Family Estrangement Workshop with Rabbi Judith Beiner - Monday, November 28 from 7PM-8:30PM at B'nai Torah
Family estrangements are as old as our biblical ancestors, whose stories seldom ended with "happily ever after." Many people today experience deeply complicated family situations that give rise to emotions including anger, sadness, and resentment. Rabbi Beiner will share research, resources, and anecdotes illustrating the incidence of family estrangement in our world today. She will also engage us in a conversation on how we can cope with our own family estrangements, as well as care for those in our community who are experiencing these challenging situations. Click here to register (encouraged, but not required).

B'nai Torah 20s & 30s provides social programming for the young adults in our community. Connect with other Jews in their 20s and 30s as we make new friendships and share amazing experiences. We are a welcoming group that would love to have you join in on our fun! If you have ideas of things you’d love to do, we’d love to help you make it happen. Also, feel free to invite friends and family who may not be affiliated with B'nai Torah. We love to meet new people and expand our community! Contact Rabbi Breit for more information.

Know anybody who grew up at B'nai Torah, who is now in their 20s or 30s? Please email us with their contact information, so that we can invite them to future events.

Our mission is to promote social interaction and greater involvement in the synagogue. We like to think that Brotherhood is an excellent way to meet other members of the Shul on an informal basis given our wide variety of programs. Our four areas of focus are: Religion, Sports, Social, and Community. While some of our programs are Brotherhood-only, the majority are open to the broader Shul community and may be family-oriented or take place in conjunction with other B'nai Torah groups. From a ruach perspective, the Brotherhood is responsible for High Holiday ushering and leading participation in the World Wide Wrap.

Brotherhood Poker - on hiatus until further notice. 

B'nai Torah Young Family programs are for families with children in 2nd grade and under. Our Early Childhood Activities Department (ECHAD) programs are more appropriate for families with children ages 5 and under. Our B'nai Babies programs are best suited for families with children ages 3-18 months. The descriptions of the programs and events below will provide guidance as to what ages the activity is for.
