Dear Friends,

There is still time to sign up for the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. March 1-3. There are over 30 people going from BJBE, many first-timers.  

Celebrate the Jewish New Year of Trees at our Tu B'shevat Seder, Tuesday, February 3.

Stay warm on a cold night with Martinis & Bingo, Saturday, February 7.   

Please see the sections below for information on these and other programs 

We look forward to celebrating the Bat Mitzvah of Hannah Lesser at the morning service and the B'nai Mitzvah of Sawyer Fleishman and Jacob Garza at the afternoon service this Saturday. Mazel tov to Hannah, Sawyer, Jacob and their families.  

The BJBE office will be closed Monday, January 19 in observance of the federal holiday Martin Luther King Day, 

L'shalom,

Arlene

Rabbi's Kedar's Call to Action in Protest & Support

Dear congregants,

There are simply no words. I am stunned and all illusions and complacency must fall away.  It is time to wake up from the illusions we hold so dear. We simply may no longer say we live in a country with no racial tension, no prejudice. We cannot say that we live in a country where there is equal justice for all.

Sanctuary update and a visit from our architect... What you can't see is the music! When I walked in the Sanctuary, a song was playing, from everywhere, all at once.
