Families Committee
The Families Committee organizes programs for tots through school-aged kids at TBB. Our core programs include family Shabbat services, Pajama & Pizza Havdalah, Kabbalat Shabbat potlucks, and Jewish holiday celebrations. We also hold periodic social and cultural events, such as 5th–8th grade Movie Night and family Israeli dancing.
We meet monthly on Monday evenings from 8:15–9:00 pm; all are welcome.
To get involved, receive our email updates, or share ideas for family programs, send us an email. We are always working to strengthen and expand!

June 17, 2025: Important Accessibility Update
Our elevator is off pending necessary repairs and will be out of service until later in the summer.
By July 1, all in-person events and services will be on the bottom floor or in the shul tent, thus requiring no stairs.
We cannot meet all accessibility needs at this time.
Please reach out to Rebecca in the office at tbb@templebnaibrith.org or 617-625-0333 if we may be able to support your attendance.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
