One Night. One Stage.
Tonight we gather on Lag B'Omer to do what Jews have always done — make music, find joy, and build community. We are so glad you are here. Thank you for supporting Temple Hillel B'nai Torah.
Bid on the Silent Auction →Now that you've bid, it's time to silence your phones and let the music take you — until we invite you to bid again. We'll see you on the other side of a beautiful evening!
Temple Hillel B'nai Torah is a warm, inclusive Jewish congregation in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. Our diverse community of families, individuals, and people of all backgrounds gathers for worship, learning, celebration, and social justice. Tonight is a beautiful example of who we are. Whether you are joining us for the first time or have been part of our community for years, we are so glad you are here tonight. We hope you'll come back.

"When Batya sings, my heart feels as if it is being moved inside my chest. Their melodies are rich, musically compelling and inhabited by the tonal legacy of their ancestors." — Aviva Chernick, Musician & Prayer Leader
Batya's newest album Yivarechecha was just released — tonight you hear it live.
