River Clean Up - Sunday, June 4 from 9AM - 12PM
Congregation B'nai Torah is cleaning up the Chattahoochee River! Come join us for a hands-on volunteer project to keep our local nature clean and available to all (ages 10 and up). We've teamed up with the Chattahoochee Riverkeepers (CRK) to adopt a section of the river to clean on Sunday morning, June 4th. Please register to receive more information closer to the clean up.

20s & 30s:

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.

Adult Events & Programs:

Self Defense Class for Seniors - Tuesday, May 23 at 10AM
B'nai Torah's Boomers& group invite our seniors to a Self Defense Class led by Craig Wolpert from The Way of The Kitten. Knowledge can be the difference between being a victim and getting away… Choose knowledge. This simple, yet comprehensive program helps prepare men and women of all backgrounds with real-life strategies for real-life situations. Self defense is not just a set of techniques, it is an actual state of mind, and it begins with the belief that you are worth defending. - Click here to register

Brotherhood Events & Programs:

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.

Young Family & ECHAD Events & Programs:

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.
