Currently, events occur every weekend on either Fridays (Shabbats) or on Saturdays (typically 6-10pm). You can stay updated on weekly events from our chapter calendar (linked below) or by contacting our Vice President of Recruitment, Eden Guelman, at [email protected].

BBG Six Folds:
The diversity of our programming is what makes the BBG experience so unique. Activities at all levels built around six programming area, called "Folds." These 6 folds are often combined to create more dynamic programming.
- Jewish Heritage: Judaism is our common bond. Programming is an integral method to help girls understand and appreciate Judaism. Judaic programming may center around traditions, prayers, culture (song/dance/food), Israel, values, and Judaism in pop culture.
- Community Service: BBG emphasizes the value of tikkun olam (repairing the world). Community service can be either direct or indirect, including either hands-on service (direct), or participating in service without necessarily coming into contact with the community being served (in-direct).
- Social Action: This fold aims to educate members about the world around us, and various challenges facing the global community. Social action also includes advocacy, speaking up for issues that affect our members.
- Recreation: Recreational programming is about moving, getting active, and having a blast! Almost any program can incorporate recreation. MBA (Mind/Body/Attitude) is a sub-fold of recreation and addresses many issues relevant to our lives as teenage girls such as body image, self-esteem, and eating disorders.
- Creativity: The fold of creativity urges members to express themselves and their opinions in new, interesting and relevant ways in order to make a greater impact and is often paired with other folds.
- Sisterhood: Sisterhood is not just a fold; it is the essence of the BBG. Sisterhood teaches us about the role of women as well as how we can support each other as sisters. Sisterhood programs build enthusiasm and dedication for BBG.
