You will have your milestone printed in the weekly announcements and monthly Shofar. In addition to the single milestone at $36, we offer a “Milestone Six Pack.” Buy 5 milestones and get one free and “kvell” all year for $180.

CHALLAH CONNECTION: SHABBAT TOGETHER! To facilitate a feeling of inter-connectedness between TBA members during this time of social distancing, we would like to provide challah to TBA members as a Shabbat gift. Volunteers needed to bake challah at home (in kosher kitchen) and to deliver challahs to other congregants. If you would like to sign up to volunteer and/or to receive two homemade kosher challahs on one Erev Shabbat (one challah request per family) over the next few months, please contact Ronit Sagman at ronit_sagman@yahoo.com or (732) 533-8924. We look forward to braiding our community more tightly together with this initiative!
ON HOLD UNTIL WE ARE BACK IN THE SYNAGOGUE BUILDING: INVITATION TO SIGN UP FOR "SHALOM SQUAD" SHIFTS IN NOVEMBER & DECEMBER- BA's Shalom Squad enables us to strike a balance between the values of being a welcoming community and providing security to our members and guests.
