Temple B’nai Torah is a progressive Reform congregation that draws deeply from Jewish tradition while embracing diversity and inclusion as core values. Many of our clergy, staff, board members, lay leaders, volunteers, and community members openly identify as members of the queer community. In this way, LGBTQIA+ voices and experiences shape our community in meaningful ways. We integrate LGBTQIA+ topics into our educational programs; we take part in larger LGBTQIA+ community initiatives; and life-cycle moments—from baby namings to weddings, B'Mitzvah, aliyot, funerals, and yahrzeits—are celebrated openly and with intentional inclusivity. Our commitments are strengthened by advocacy, clear non-discrimination policies, and a culture of openness that ensures every individual is honored and supported.

At Temple B’nai Torah, we believe that Jewish life is strongest when all who seek to belong feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Whether you are looking for spiritual community, meaningful connections, or a place to raise your family, you will find a home here.
