Rooted in tradition, progressive in outlook, Temple B'nai Abraham is one of the oldest and the largest independent synagogues in America.  We are a welcoming community of Jewish life, worship and learning.  We serve families and individuals of MetroWest by meeting the spiritual, intellectual and social needs of children and adults of all ages.

 

If you are new to the area, are thinking of moving to our neighborhood, or are considering joining our synagogue,  please contact our clergy, Rabbi Clifford Kulwin or Cantor Jessica Epstein at 973.994.2290. We are happy to help you and to welcome you.
