Find Your Community at Temple Hillel B'nai Torah (HBT)
A Progressive Reconstructionist Synagogue in West Roxbury and the Greater Boston Jewish Community
Join us at Temple Hillel B’nai Torah, a Reconstructionist synagogue in Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood and part of the Greater Boston Jewish community.
Every face is familiar, every voice is heard, and every hand is held as we embrace people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities.
Experience vibrant Shabbat services, meaningful learning, and a community grounded in inclusivity, social justice, and connection.
What a night. Thanks to the generosity, creativity, and heart of so many people, our Lag B'Omer concert was something truly special. Our deepest gratitude to our planners, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and everyone who filled 120 Corey Street with music, joy, and neshama.
The music moves us — and so does your support. Consider making a gift to keep HBT's spirit singing.
