Sabbath Eve Service
Rabbi Berman will speak "Renewed Beginnings: Reflections for People Who Celebrate Two New Years!"
Our observance of Rosh Hashanah...and our celebrations of January 1, point to the unique ways in which we, as Jews, each have one foot in two worlds. This dual reality poses special challenges as well as possibilities. Before our resolutions - from either September or January - fade from our consciousness, we will explore how the annual gift of two different kinds of new beginnings can help us grow spiritually!

The BJS Choir will rehearse at 5:30 PM.

Torah Study with Rabbi Devon Lerner
Our Torah Study has taken on a new format. BJS member Rabbi Devon Lerner is leading our Sabbath Torah Study Services this year. We will now cover two topics during every session. The first topic will focus on a general subject, the second topic will address a current event through the lens of traditional texts, commentaries, current writing and our own experience.
