Families Committee
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!
