At TBI you will find a community that celebrates Jewish tradition, kindles spiritual fulfillment, values Jewish study in all its variety, and vigorously participates in social justice.
Please join us! Jews in all their diversity, including families, singles, couples, interfaith families, the LGBTQ2+ community, people with disabilities, and the rainbow of racial identities and ethnicities – are all welcome at TBI.
