Temple Ner Tamid

About

A progressive Reform congregation serving Bloomfield, Glen Ridge, Montclair, Clifton, Nutley and surrounding communities

Story

Temple Ner Tamid is a completely egalitarian and inclusive community. We welcome interfaith, LGBTI, multiracial, seniors, couples, singles, single-parents and families to join our congregation. Our worship is filled with prayer, meditations, soul-energizing music and thought-provoking teachings. We offer serious learning opportunities for both adults and children, as well as a broad and enriching slate of cultural experiences. Making new friends, discovering the warmth and joy of Shabbat, and working to "repair the world" are just some of the things that define Ner Tamid.

Mission

We acknowledge that our mission is to help people of all ages and backgrounds grow Jewishly, through:

* Torah - Study
* Avodah - Worship
* G'milut Chasadim - Acts of Lovingkindness

All of the above work in concert to create and sustain a vibrant community. Our diverse congregation embraces the values of lifelong learning; inclusive, participatory and inspiring services; and repairing the world. As we learn and teach, live and pray together, we embrace each other and our Judaism with joy.

"Temple Ner Tamid is a welcoming, diverse, and musical congregation where members connect with their heritage while thinking progressively about the present. Our mission is to inspire our members to make our community more curious, connected, and just. The Temple offers a pre-school, ages 2-4, a religious education program for K – 12th grade, regular Shabbat and holiday services, a community monthly café, learning groups, and community speaking events. The doors of Temple Ner Tamid are open. We invite you to join."
