B'nai Israel Congregation

Join us on selected Saturday mornings for discussions about the weekly Torah parsha. Interested in leading a session? Contact Wendy Fanaroff (wfanaroff@gmail.com).

What does it take to be a hero? Just a little bit of your gevurah (strength). You can be strong of body, strong of mind, strong of spirit, or strong in many other ways. Who are the heroes of Jewish history? Who are the heroes in your life? Join us for a celebration of heroes as we approach Hannukah, which celebrates the heroic efforts of our ancestors.

Share melodies and words of Torah as we gather to say farewell to Shabbat. Bring your favorite niggun (wordless melody), your favorite brief teaching, or just bring yourselves.
