Together in Torah

We launch this Jewish New Year of 5783 with a new congregational theme centered around the shared experience of writing our own Torah. The Together in Torah theme builds upon the acquisition of our new Torah scroll and related programming, all made possible by the generosity of Randy Gollub and Jon Hirschtick. We will weave shared learning and rejoicing into many ongoing activities, and offer the once-in-a-lifetime experience of scribing a Hebrew letter into our beautiful Torah scroll.
Paula Lerner Visiting Artist Program

Join us at BETC for the much-anticipated return to an in-person performance for our annual Paula Lerner Visiting Artist Program! We are thrilled to host multi-ethnic, multi-discipline artist and educator, TJ Reynolds. TJ will share "Black & Jewish", a collection of emotionally riveting black and white portraits, that amplifies the intersectional identities of Jews of Color. In his presentation, Reynolds intertwines the portraits with poetry and music to create an enriched, multi-dimensional experience.
