Our Community
- Kahal B’raira is the creation and continued involvement of our members.
- Social Action is an integral part of Humanistic Judaism and the life of the Kahal B’raira community. There are multiple opportunities throughout the year for members of all ages and abilities to get involved and make a difference.
- Community Care Resources provides information and support to members who are dealing with difficult situations such as an illness or injury, the loss of a loved one, or any personal crisis that may arise.
- Random Fun Events such as KB at Fenway.
- Music, Middle East Working Group, Brew Club and other ad hoc groups provide additional opportunities to get involved.
