Clubs & Committees

There are many clubs and committees that make Beth Hillel the engaging, organized, and supportive place that it is. Our clubs are great social opportunities, and out committee members are dedicated to serving our membership and the community at-large.

Clubs

BOOK CLUB

Our temple book club meets monthly to read and discuss topical books, often involving Jewish themes. We meet in the evenings on Zoom, to make it convenient for everyone. All are welcome to join, please contact the office if you are interested.

CANASTA

Join our lively canasta group, for a fun afternoon of games and conversation. Beginners are welcome. We meet weekly on Fridays at 12:30. Please contact the office if you are interested.

MAHJONG

Mahjong is a Chinese game played with 152 tiles. It’s a little bit like gin rummy and a little bit like Rummikub. It’s mentally challenging, tons of fun, and a wonderful way to spend a few hours with friends. We play every Tuesday from 12:30 pm-3:00 pm and beginners are welcome. Contact the BHT Office if interested!
