Core Principles
Hillel B’nai Torah is a haimish (homey) community that is rooted in Jewish tradition and responsive to the world we live in. We actively engage our members in the creative process of bringing new perspectives to tradition and making tradition meaningful to contemporary lives.

HAVURAH חבורה COMMUNITY
We welcome members of varied backgrounds into a warm and caring intergenerational community. We support each other through all of life’s stages and joyfully integrate children into all dimensions of temple life.
AVODAH עבדה WORSHIP
Drawing from the well of Jewish spirituality, we seek connections to God and each other through traditional and creative approaches to ritual, celebration, and prayer.
TORAH תורה LEARNING
Because learning is at the heart of Jewish life, learning pervades all aspects of our temple. We make Jewish texts and traditions, ideas and values accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
TIKKUN OLAM תיקון עולם SOCIAL JUSTICE
We enlist the active participation of all our members in hands-on efforts to nurture our community, mend our society, and protect our planet.
