About Temple B’nai Chaim  Donate Now

While our building is closed, we’re continuing on as “Virtual TBC,” with weekly services and programs. Dates and times are available on our News and Chailites page and on our Events Calendar.

Temple B’nai Chaim is a modern Reform congregation inspired by over 3000 years of tradition.  We believe in a living Judaism compatible with contemporary science, historical understanding, and ethical sensibilities, and which reflects everyday reality and is refined by it.  We are a member congregation of the Union for Reform Judaism.

We welcome all Jews, their partners and families regardless of background.  We affirm the equality between men and women, members of all ages, races, physical conditions, and sexual orientations.  News and announcements are in our Chailites / email archive and in our photo archive.  More information about Temple B’nai Chaim ….
