Barnert Temple

Barnert Temple is a sacred community committed to offering relevant & meaningful Reform Jewish experiences.

We are a Jewish center for approximately 500 households from more than 36 surrounding communities, including innovative preschool and religious school programs. We are large enough to service the diverse needs of our congregants, but small enough to provide an inclusive, comfortable and nurturing environment. Indeed, the can be seen in virtually all aspects of Temple life.

Recently, we celebrated four of our amazing preschool educators: Nan Sumner, Nancy Garcia, Julie Kaufman, and Sharon Ramsey, who completed a year of learning with their cohort at ElevatED. Funded by the Russell Berrie Foundation and facilitated through the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, ElevatED offers leading-edge initiatives to transform the field of early childhood Jewish education. We are proud of our team and are grateful for their commitment to expanding their skills and knowledge.

Can we get a "Yeehaw!" Our Free Birds group kicked up their heels and tried their hand (and feet) at line dancing. Smiles, fun, and some good humor were on tap for all!

Last month, two of our talented teens participated in the HaZamir concert at Lincoln Center, part of the HaZamir annual festival which bring teens from chapters around the world together for a weekend retreat, culmnating in a gala concert in New York City. HaZamir, the International Jewish Teen Choir, provides high school singers the unique opportunity sing at the highest performance level, build community, facilitate leadership and foster trans-denominational harmony.

We are so proud of these talented singers and grateful to Chuck and Elaine Mason, who have been part of the HaZamir organization for many years as they continue to support Jewish teens finding connections through music.

How we treat one another, listen to one another, and create space for a range of viewpoints is a core value for any community. Barnert recently rolled out a Code of Conduct for our community, a shared set of expectations that help us live our values more intentionally. Our recent town hall gave members the chance to ask questions provide feedback. This discussion served as the perfect segue to our conversation about North American and Israeli relations post 10/7, a topic requiring trust, respect, and space for a range of perspectives and opinions.

Today is National Sibling Day! (This time we got the date right!). Barnert has quite a few siblings who have chosen Barnert as their Jewish home, and many are now raising their next generation here at Barnert.

Do you and your sibling call Barnert home? Add your photo to the comments, and thank you for making Barnert part of your family.

How many of you tore into a delicious pizza to celebrate the end of Passover? Families have adopted many traditions to end the week of abstaining from eating wheat, barley, rye, oats, and spelt. What's your "go to" food to mark the end of Passover? Share in the comments.

Our JJP (Jewish Journey Project) students in grades 3-6 were busy packing snack bags for Jewish Family & Children's Services. The kids packed bags and added decorations and notes of encouragement to kids who will receive these snack bags. These bags are just one of the many services Jewish Family & Children's Services provides to help combat food insecurity. We are always grateful to support the "big" work done by organizations like JFCS.
