HAZAK
HAZAK provides programming and activities for TBS members who are 55+. Meetings are usually the third Tuesday of each month at 1:00 PM with occasional Sunday morning or evening programs to enable those who are working or otherwise scheduled to participate.
HAZAK aims to complement TBS' Adult Education Programs with additional social, educational, and spiritual activities. HAZAK also reaches out to other congregations in our region for joint activities and programming. Our mature adults continue to learn and to be a vital part of the TBS and South Jersey communities.

Each age is remarkable. Transitions can be difficult. I can remember when I became a double digit in 4th grade, pushing the days until I became that magic number 10. When did I stop being a BBG girl and become a mother of a USYer? How did my Sisterhood Presidency of Temple Emanuel of the Pascack Valley evolve into Temple Beth Sholom's HAZAK president?
Building a synagogue's life is important. What type of role model do I want to be? Can I tell my grandchild to belong to Kadimah or USY when I stay on the sidelines?
Friendships are wonderful and synagogue friendship's help to insure the continuity of Judaism for generations to come. We need you!!
