Families

Being a part of a Jewish family community is important inside and outside of the synagogue. At TBA, families join together to create programs that enhance and support their common values and interests. From family kickball games, Sukkah decorating to Hamantashen baking it is always more fun when we are together. All are welcome to join.

Interfaith Families

Interfaith families have been a welcomed, valued, active and growing group at TBA for over 25 years. They meet to discuss the many joys and challenges of being a multi-faith household. Religious education, holiday observances and lifecycle rituals provide rich conversation that bond this group.

Spirituality

‘Bringing our hearts and souls into our Jewish lives and practices’ is the invitation the Spirituality group extends to all TBA members. Spirituality, that elusive and very personal experience, has an important place in traditional Jewish practices and in the activities of a contemporary progressive synagogue. A Tu B’shevat Sedar and a Healing Service are some of the programs that have been conducted. Contact us for information, conversation, and participation.

Social

The Social group at TBA was created as a way for members from all generations to meet, build friendships and have fun. Although the Temple is what brings us together, Social group events tend to be non-religious in nature like Family Game Nights and Ladies Night Out at private homes. Whether you’re a religious school parent, millennial single or retiree, we look forward to seeing you!

Interested in helping to plan future events?  Please join us! You’ll find that even planning them is a lot of fun. They’re planned entirely by group members. No committees, no meetings, just fun times!

The Pe'ah Garden

The Torah commands us to leave the corners (pe’ah) of the fields for the poor to glean and the tradition continues at TBA. Our religious school children, their families and the community get hands-on learning of Jewish values as we grow food connected to Jewish holidays in our Pe’ah Garden. In 2018, local herbalist, Iris Weaver will garden with us to grow even more food to support Beverly Bootstraps and use at our Monday Night Suppers at the First Baptist Church. The garden is part of the TBA school curriculum and the PJ Library family programs and provides a place for participants in Family Promise to garden.
