Kahal B’raira is a warm and welcoming community of choice. We include people raised in traditional Jewish congregations, those with little or no Jewish background, and partners & children of all cultures, races, faiths, and nationalities.

Benefits of membership include complimentary High Holiday tickets, participation in our anti-racism book group, support from our chesed (lovingkindness) committee, and most of all, a warm community in which to celebrate holidays and lifecycle events (including birth, B Mitzvah, transition, and marriage).

About Our Members & Congregation

• As the only congregation of Humanistic Judaism in the region, Kahal B’raira attracts a diverse membership from across Massachusetts and beyond.
• We are a welcoming community with members of all ages, both individuals and families, including Queer, interfaith and intercultural households. We are Trans-friendly and non-binary inclusive and encourage all of our members to share their pronouns on their nametags. 
• Our members may be atheists, agnostics, ignostics, or theists who join together to celebrate Judaism in a secular community.
• Few of us have grown up as Humanistic Jews; most have been searching, maybe without realizing it, for something that we didn’t know existed until we found Kahal B’raira.
• Many of our members say that finding Kahal B’raira is like coming home to a place where we can fully participate despite our varied backgrounds and beliefs.
