Families
Temple B’nai Brith invites families with kids of all ages to join our pluralistic community!
Along with our Sunday school for pre-K through 7th graders (with simultaneous adult ed opportunities), we host a range of family activities, including:
- Monthly Tot and Family Shabbat morning services
- Family Shabbat Potluck dinners during the warmer months, starting on May 9!
- Pajama and Pizza Havdalah gatherings during the colder months, resuming in Fall 2025 after the clocks change.
- All-ages Israeli Dance classes twice a year
- Holiday celebrations, including a Chanukah Party and Purim Carnival
- Tot meetups for the under–4 crowd
- High Holiday family and tot services
- …and more!
As an unaffiliated synagogue, TBB strives for a welcoming and informal atmosphere where families of all backgrounds and religious affiliations can build community, learn about Judaism, and connect with their heritage and spirituality. We aim to help our kids grow up with pride in their Jewish identity, knowledge and curiosity about religious traditions, and a commitment to social justice as a Jewish value.
Congregation B'nai Brith Children's School (CBBCS)
CBBCS strives to create an environment that nurtures students' sense of who they are as people and as Jews — in a warm environment that welcomes their families as active participants in our Jewish community. Students study Jewish holidays, tikkun olam (social and environmental justice), culture, music, arts, prayer, Hebrew and Torah, while creating lasting friendships in a supportive school community.
