   Temple Hillel B'nai Torah is a Reconstructionist congregation that is welcoming, egalitarian, multicultural, and inclusive.  Our core values are worship, study, social justice and community.  We are a community that is rooted in Jewish tradition and responsive to the world we live in, and we actively engage our members in the creative process of bringing new perspectives to tradition and making tradition meaningful to contemporary lives.
   Our rabbi, Barbara Rosman Penzner, brings openness that is derived from a Reconstructionist perspective.  She is motivated by a commitment to justice, love of Judaism, and sensitivity to our individual journeys.  She inspires us to make Judaism an essential part of everyday life.

Rabbi: Howard Berman

Boston Jewish Spirit was founded in 2004 as the first synagogue in the Back Bay, and is the only Reform Temple in the center of the city. Our growing membership comes from throughout the metro area. BJS is a liberal, inclusive Reform congregation committed to the opportunities, challenges and diversity of urban life. Our worship  and spiritual values are rooted in the historic Classical Reform tradition, interpreted in contemporary, inclusive ways.

We welcome all who are seeking to experience Judaism's universal ideals and traditions, regardless of religious background. We extend a special welcome to interfaith and multicultural families, LGBT people and residents of Boston's city neighborhoods. Together we seek to create a community of worship, learning and service, grounded in the timeless Jewish vision of a "house of prayer for all people," and responding to the mandate of our Hebrew Prophets to work for justice and peace in the world.

Kahal Braira , Denomination: Humanistic
Kahal Braira

Web:  www.kahalbraira.org 
E-mail: info@kahalbraira.org
Kahal B'raira, a congregation of Secular Humanistic Jews, has been meeting in the Boston area since 1975. We meet for services, discussion, culture, Sunday school, teen/youth groups, and other events. Our Sunday school includes pre-kindergarten through eighth grade classes with additional Hebrew and Bar/Bat Mitzvah programming. We also hold Sabbath services on the first Friday of each month. We are affiliated with the national Society for Humanistic Judaism. Humanistic Judaism embraces a philosophy that combines rational thinking with a celebration of Judaic culture and identity. Humanistic Jews value their Jewish identity and the aspects of Jewish culture that offer a genuine expression of their contemporary way of life. Kahal B'raira welcomes anyone who identifies with our culture and values. Our community is enriched by the contributions of our diverse membership. We celebrate Jewish holidays and life cycle events with inspirational ceremonies that draw upon, but seek to go beyond, traditional literature. In general the Adult Meetings (which take place during Sunday School hours), consist of: a brief business meeting; schmooze time; a spiritual service; and a feature program. Our feature programs, a hallmark of our congregation, are engaging and thought provoking.
