Welcome to Beth Tzedec Small Groups!

Registration is now open.

We are excited for our 2024-2025 year of Beth Tzedec Small Groups. Beth Tzedec Small Groups are an opportunity to connect with other Beth Tzedec members over a shared goal, project or interest. Registration is now open for Beth Tzedec members to join a Small Group. 

BT Small Groups are not just a 'program'. They are a way to commit to a new peer group and learn, explore and build community together.

What:

BT Small Groups consist of  8 to 15 people meeting on Zoom or in person from November to June to discuss a topic or engage in an activity that is of particular interest to YOU.

Who:

Led by a fellow Beth Tzedec member, BT Small Groups are made up of mostly BT members. Group members are asked to commit to attending regularly from November to June. 

Where:

Some groups will meet over Zoom, others will plan to meet in person, while some will be hybrid (at times in person and at times on Zoom). Check the description carefully to see the leader’s plan.

Why:

To learn, laugh and develop meaningful relationships that deepen connections to other members, to Judaism and to Beth Tzedec while engaging in activities that are important to YOU.

When:

Registration is now open until Sunday October 27. Group Leaders and members will schedule the exact meeting dates together. Most groups will meet monthly from November to June, while others may meet more regularly. See individual group descriptions which will detail the day/time and frequency of group meetings.
