B'Yachad

B'yachad

B’yachad, which means “together,” is the social heart of Temple Emeth. We plan, execute, and support activities and events that are of interest to all Temple members. Historically, B’yachad has been a combined Brotherhood and Sisterhood designed to “help achieve the religious, charitable, social, and educational goals of Temple Emeth.”

B’Yachad presents several Sunday morning events each year with professional speakers on topics related to Jewish history or culture.  
We meet for a lovely brunch beforehand and enjoy some socializing time too.

Past events included:

  • American History in Eight Synagogues
  • All About Yiddish
  • Image of Jews in Literature
  • Wandering Jews of New Jersey
  • From Yom Kippur War to Oct 7…What it Means for Israel and the U.S

Events are open to members and non-members alike. Won’t you join us?

Keep checking this page for 2025-26 programs!

We welcome your ideas, comments and thoughts, especially suggestions for future Breakfast Speakers and events. Thank you for your continued support.
