An Invitation to Join
 

 

 

Temple B'nai Abraham, one of oldest and largest independent synagogues in the country, is a vital, dynamic and forward-looking congregation that offers connection, compassion and community for all. We offer a rich array of programs and services, but most of all we offer a sense of belonging, of community, of a larger family — your Temple family.

Housed in the Louis and Emily Slater Youth and Education Center, The Early School and Religious School are widely acknowledged to be among the finest in New Jersey.  TBA’s High School and Confirmation program seek to continue the synagogue education and involvement of our young people beyond the age of Bar/ Bat Mitzvah.

We serve Livingston, Millburn/Short Hills, West Orange, South Orange, Maplewood, Roseland and all adjacent communities, part of the New Jersey MetroWest region.

With a rich history of independence, Temple B'nai Abraham fosters respect for tradition, relevance to time and place, creativity, musicality and a commitment to providing a focal point for living and learning Jewishly.

Membership in Temple B'nai Abraham enriches the fabric of your Jewish life and provides a spiritual link to the Jewish community.  We are committed to helping you find your place in congregational life.  Interfaith families are most welcome.

Our B'nai Abraham family invites you to join.

For membership, please contact Executive Director Gail Milchman at 973.994.2290 to arrange a meeting.

A Family Place

 

We’re a place of learning from The Early School the Religious School  and the TBA High School in the Louis and Emily Slater Youth and Education Center through a rich adult education program..

 

We’re a house of worship with Shabbat and holiday services in our beautiful Ross Sanctuary and in the more intimate setting of our Gittlin Chapel and outdoor patio in the Denburg Garden.

 

We’re a community that forges a strong connection among its members within a participatory environment through worship, life cycle events, and multifaceted programming. Temple B’nai Abraham provides a Jewish learning and social setting for all ages.

 

Temple B’nai Abraham welcomes interfaith families.  We cordially invite spouses and partners who are not of the Jewish faith to join in prayer and festival observances.  Along with their parents and siblings, they are also invited to play a central role in their child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah as well as encouraged to become involved in nearly every aspect of congregational life, including serving on committees. Children of interfaith families who are being raised solely in the Jewish tradition are eligible for enrollment in the Religious School. Rabbi Kulwin will welcome any questions regarding participation in worship services, family observances, or related matters.

Sponsored by the temple’s Membership Committee, Men’s Club, Sisterhood, Early School Parent’s Council and PTA, 140 attendees, (80 children and 60 adults—parents & grandparents), spent a snowy Sunday afternoon together building the Old City of Jerusalem out of 60,000 LEGO building blocks.
