Saturday Mornings Torah Study and Services at 9:30am

There is a movement for Jewish revival afoot across the Jewish world, to make a Jewish life meaningful, joyous, exciting and compelling. The New Congregation Bnai Tikvah seeks to become a model congregation in enriching Jewish life and in leading Jews back to Judaism. Members are committed to learning and are dedicated to their spiritual and personal growth. Our services, our religious school and our programs reflect our commitment to teaching love and knowledge of God, learning Torah, meaningful Jewish observance, commitment to the Jewish people and to a life filled with good deeds and love of all humanity.

Bnai Tikvah is trans-denominational in that our approach reflects and incorporates aspects of several denominations of Judaism. We are very outreach-orientated: our mission is to encourage and include all Jews who are unaffiliated and those who choose Judaism as their faith, religion and spiritual path. We are especially supportive of those who are a part of alternative lifestyles. We do not identify as Reform because of the more traditional nature of our services and our approach to the observance of the commandments.

Our services, school and adult study are informed by the belief in the reality of God. As in the Conservative movement, we aim to strike a careful balance between tradition and change. Our services include traditional modes in worship; our worship service is, however, noticeably shorter than a Conservative service, and we feel a greater latitude in experimenting with certain aspects of the liturgy, unlike most Conservative congregants.

It is never too early, nor too late, for children to experience the beauty of Shabbat and the bonds of a religious community. Our religious school meets once per week and is vibrant, diverse & caring, led by our religious school director. Students, teachers, administrators, parents & grandparents join together to educate your children, celebrate our heritage & work towards making the world a better place.

We teach your child a rich system of Jewish values, stressing the practice of mitzvot & to develop ethical character.

For the special needs of teenagers, we offer a Post Bnai Mitzvah Program designed to provide hands-on experience in the various aspects of building & maintaining a Jewish community. Teens in this group enjoy a wide variety of stimulating programs that foster intellectual and spiritual growth, leadership skills, a spirit of community service & ultimately, lifelong bonds.
