Our Women’s and Men’s Groups at Temple Chai
Affinity groups at Temple Chai are built around shared identity, experience, and community. They offer meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, celebrate, and grow through Jewish life. Whether you’re seeking spiritual exploration, social connection, or community service, there’s a group for you.
Bat Chai – Women of Temple Chai
Bat Chai, our vibrant women’s group, brings together women of all ages to explore Jewish identity, heritage, and spirituality. Through learning, prayer, retreats, and friendship, we strengthen our connection to Judaism, ourselves, and one another.
Bat Chai programming includes guest speakers, social action, wellness events, and more — all designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. The group’s signature event is the Annual Women’s Retreat, a powerful weekend of reflection, learning, and community.
Men’s Group
The Temple Chai Men’s Group is a multi-generational community for connection, learning, and meaningful engagement. Whether you’re a father, husband, brother, or friend, this group welcomes you to share in events that strengthen bonds and support one another.
Popular events include Guys Night Out, the Chai Steaks Poker Tournament, day hikes, Scotch tastings, and study sessions such as Lag B’Omer learning. The highlight of the year is the Annual Men’s Shabbaton, combining spiritual connection and brotherhood.
Temple Chai welcomes transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people to join the affinity groups of their choice. The Bat Chai/Temple Chai Women’s Group and The Men’s Group are both open to transgender, non-binary and GNC members at your own discretion.
