Welcome to NextGen
At Temple Beth Israel, we believe that Jewish community is built through shared experiences, meaningful relationships, and showing up for one another.
NextGen is our vibrant community for adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. From Shabbat dinners and holiday celebrations to trivia nights, volunteer projects, outdoor adventures, and creative programs, there’s always an opportunity to connect.
Whether you’re attending your first synagogue event or you’ve been part of Jewish life for years, you’ll find a welcoming community where you can build friendships, celebrate together, and help shape the future of Jewish life in Greater Boston.
We can’t wait to meet you!
