The best way to get to know us is to experience us.  We open our doors to you. Let's get to know one another.  

Join Us for Shabbat

Shabbat is our respite from the hectic week.  We invite you to join us for this physical and spiritual break.  Check the online calendar for specific date and start times, as they vary throughout the year.  Contact our office at (201) 848-1800 if you plan on joining us.

Dine with Us at One of our Potluck Suppers

On the first Friday of each month, Barnert hosts a Shabbat potluck following our Shabbat service.  We share delicious and special foods with choices for kids and adults alike.  We’re not kosher, but we separate meat and dairy, and there’s no pork or shellfish.  Everyone brings a dish to serve 8 - 10, and we provide lots of dessert including fruit.  The conversation is light and we’re always meeting new people.  You’ll love it!

Participate in an Adult Education Class

Barnert's commitment to lifelong learning influences the variety of learning opportunities we bring to our congregants.  Some of our adult education classes are ongoing classes that meet regularly, while others are special programs that occur once throughout the year.  Check our calendar for upcoming learning opportunities.  Contact our office at (201) 848-1800 if you want to check out one of our classes.

Meet Nan Sumner (Preschool/Camp) or Jennifer Katz Goldstein (JJP) and Tour Our Schools

Talk to our families and you will hear a similar theme about our schools - We came, we loved it, we stayed!

Both our Preschool and Jewish Journey Project address the needs of the whole family - not just the child.  We are committed to helping our students become critical thinkers and creative problem solvers, while creating a foundation for Jewish ethical and spiritual growth.  Our long-term goal is to graduate children who become positive forces in our world:  “mensches.”

Contact our school office at (201) 848-1027 to schedule a visit.

Schedule a Meet & Greet Tour

Most individuals or families who are considering Temples have lots of questions.  We want to answer them.  It's about building relationships and identifying the right fit for you.  We open our doors to you. Let’s explore together!  For more information, or to schedule a Barnert tour with Rabbi Steiner, contact Lori Solomon, the Rabbi's assistant.
