Our Adult B’nei Mitzvah program is for any adult who didn’t become b’nei mitzvah as a child and is interested in deepening their Jewish knowledge and commitment to Jewish life. We invite you to come as you are – no special skills or prerequisites needed. Together with our clergy, we will learn more about our Jewish tradition and help strengthen our Jewish future.

Parade on Broadway

Meet your TI family for an evening in NYC to see the Tony award-winning musical Parade, starring Ben Platt and written by Jason Robert Brown. Parade tells the heart-wrenching true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man wrongfully convicted of rape and murder in Atlanta in 1913. His case was one of the first to draw national attention to antisemitism in the United States. Before the show, there will be an opportunity to have dinner together as a TI family at Bond 45.
Ragtime

The show offers an explosive and relevant portrait of America in the throes of social upheaval, during the turn of the 20th Century.
