Kick, throw, and toss your way into the #1 spot with this sport themed Kahoot!

Following the 4 episodes of the popular Netflix show 'Unorthodox,' our Shlicha Netta Asner-Minster will be hosting women of the community sharing and explaining the religious practices as seen in the show. These sessions are taking place in cooperation with the Sisterhood of B'nai Israel. Registration is required. The Zoom link will be provided in the confirmation email after registration has been completed.

Elijah is a central figure in the Book of Kings, but the mythology and legends surrounding his life extend way beyond those of any other biblical prophet. We will start with the biblical texts describing Elijah’s life’s work, and then explore the developing sources that bring him to our Passover seder, brit milah ceremonies, and even Camden Yards. Presented by the Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies.

Put your Shavuot knowledge to the test with this fun quiz!

Join us for a celebratory dessert and a special program to honor Karen Gerton’s 31 years of service to the B’nai Israel Schilit Nursery School. More information about how to register for the event and contribute to a special endowment fund in Karen’s honor will be available soon.

Show off your coolest nature find and make paper flowers to celebrate Shavuot! Materials: Bring whatever you find in nature! Construction paper or printer paper, pen or pencil, scissors (ask a parent if you need help!).

Why did we, the Jewish people, “sign up” to follow the Torah? The Talmud describes the Jewish people’s initial acceptance of Torah as a tense moment which ultimately becomes one of celebration. For thousands of years we have survived thanks to our continuous engagement with Torah—sometimes fraught and sometimes joyful. Join us at 7:00 PM to learn with our clergy, who will draw upon traditional Jewish texts to explore the timeless relationship between the Jewish people and Torah. In the days before Shavuot, we will share a few pre-recorded teachings from members of our community. The Tikkun will conclude with small group discussions to reflect upon these teachings. Additional information about the Tikkun Leyl Shavuot will be shared later in May. It has been the custom of our congregation to honor our 10th Grade Confirmation class on Shavuot. We will do that this year by sharing their presentations with the congregation in electronic formats. We look forward to honoring them and their commitment to continuing their Jewish education on that day.
