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.)

Thanks for the explanation. Interesting to know the Jewish implication of the word.

OK, thanks, that is what I was looking for and what is needed to help get beyond stereotypes.

In the future, I hope you can think of ways to ask questions like this in ways which do get you the information you want, but don't unnecessarily insult or piss people off, because it is possible to do so. In this case, you were unaware of the well-established meaning of "egalitarian" as it applies to Judaism, but rather than considering the possibility that you might be lacking information, you jumped to conclusions in an aggressive-sounding way.
