Meredith Lubin is thrilled to be joining the Temple B’nai Torah family this year! Before coming to TBT, she served as the Assistant Principal at Temple Shaaray Tefila in Manhattan, and as the Education Coordinator at Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple in New Brunswick, NJ.

Growing up, Meredith always knew she wanted to be a teacher, and indeed, she has degrees in Social Studies and Education from East Stroudsburg University. Shortly after finishing school, she unexpectedly took over for a 5th Grade Religious School teacher and quickly decided to switch gears from Social Studies to Jewish Education. She has not looked back since – she loves the unique relationships and educational opportunities that come with the synagogue school environment. She is so looking forward to all of the amazing things on the horizon for the TBT community and is excited to help make the youth (both in the Religious School and BNTY) a great and active part of it all!

Outside of school, Meredith is always listening to music and is an avid reader – she will happily chat your ear off about either subject for as long as you let her! She also loves movies, live theatre, and spending time with her friends and family.

Shabbat Torah Study

SATURDAY MORNING


Judy and Marc Herbert lead the Shabbat Torah Study group – a group of lay congregants who meet every Shabbat from 9:30 – 11:00 AM. The group is working its way through the entire Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), reading it in English. This long-standing, lay-led group meets to read, study, debate, and enjoy our holiest texts. They bring in a number of translations and commentaries to enhance their understanding and to get different perspectives. The group relates the stories and messages of the Bible to current events, usually giving way to spirited discussions. Absolutely no prior training is needed, just an interest in exploring the foundational text of the Jewish people.  All religious viewpoints are welcome. All who are interested in joining the group, come on down.

Shabbat Service

SATURDAY MORNING

“Shabbat Morning Service,” 10:30 am

Though all are welcome at every single Shabbat morning service, some prefer a service with less formality and more congregant participation. Please join us for these special services, which are led by our clergy and include discussions, study, and learning. DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED

 

 

 

Shabbat

Shabbat brings every creature back to its roots which is the will of God. (Sefat Emet)

At Temple B’nai Torah, we celebrate the diverse needs and interests of our community. Though our members may vary in age, family structure, and schedules, we are all alike in our need for a day of rest, renewal, and rejuvenation.

All are welcome at each Shabbat service. Our clergy, leadership, and Ritual Committee have worked diligently to offer many Shabbat experiences for the TBT family, and we are sure that you’ll find something you like!


 

Please check out our calendar for the most up-to-date information.
