About Us

We are Congregation B’nai Torah

"Children of Torah"

We value lifelong learning, We endeavor to improve the world,  We celebrate Jewish life.

Congregation B’nai Torah is rooted in ancient Judaism, but maintains an openness to change and evolution over time. Torah are not only the physical scrolls that are housed in the Ark, but is the totality of Jewish wisdom and teaching throughout the generations. We consider it the responsibility of each person to interpret Judaism according to the way in which one listens to the voices of the past and responds to the calls of today and tomorrow. As a member of the Union for Reform Judaism, Congregation B’nai Torah embraces modernity and the endless possibilities it offers us. Judaism can and should be observed meaningfully and creatively in the context of twenty-first century American Jewish life. 

Our religious school program spans from Kindergarten through Grade 12. We partner with parents in the endeavor of shaping children into young Jewish adults that only possess knowledge of Judaism, but that are resourceful, compassionate, and responsible human beings. We achieve success when our students view their Jewish identities as relevant, and their Jewish studies as applicable to their contemporary choices and decision. We engage faculty members that not only teach Judaism, but that live and model the finest Jewish values. Our life-cycle ceremonies are warm, personal and customized to each individual and each family, and our worship services blend traditional words and melodies with contemporary sounds and sensibilities.
