Temple B'nai Brith Spring Open House: March 29th, 11am-1pm

Looking for a vibrant, egalitarian, and welcoming Jewish community? Temple B'nai Brith is an independent Jewish congregation serving Somerville and surrounding communities for over 100 years. We offer regular Shabbat and alternative worship services, High Holiday services, and other Jewish holiday services; non-members are welcome!

We will hold an open house on Sunday, March 29th from 11am-1pm. Meet congregants, enjoy a light snack, visit the children's school in session, and meet our school staff. TBB is located at 201 Central St, in Somerville, just off Broadway in Winter Hill.

I'm a member of TBB, and I'm on the board of directors and a co-chair of the Membership Committee. I've been a member of TBB since sometime after I moved to Somerville, and really like the place! I'll be at TBB the morning of the open house (though it seems I'll probably be teaching a cooking class for much of the time), and otherwise can occasionally be found at Shabbat services, other holiday services, or various programs that catch my interest. Feel free to ask me more about Temple B'nai Brith!

www.templebnaibrith.org is our website. (The Open House announcement isn't there yet, but it will be.)

This comment feels unnecessarily antagonistic.

I know you probably think you're being tremendously witty, but you've stepped pretty far into 'troll' area, and you're also bordering pretty closely on 'asshole' area too. I am apparently the third moderator of the community to ask you to knock it off this week. You need to stop.

Nothing to do with trying to be witty. Again, read my note and reply with something of substance. Such as: "No, in my experience, the Jewish community is really open to non-Jewish and/or non-religious people".

If you had simply asked whether non-Jews would feel welcome at the event or in the shul, without the insulting remarks, you would not have received the reaction that you did from the other moderator and me.

I consider the original poster here to be a friend, and I am also a member of her shul. So I did not appreciate seeing accusations hurled against the local Jewish community as a response to a simple event announcement post.
