B'nai Israel Congregation

Join Mayer Adelberg, Director of Youth Engagement, for pizza and cake in an effort for B'nai Israel to understand the needs and wants of teens and for parents to learn how they can be more actively engaged in helping their t(w)eens stay Jewishly connected. For parents of 7th-12th graders.

The Hebrew Bible is not rated G. In this course, you will examine some lesser-known narratives from the Tanakh. Because these texts seem unsuitable for certain audiences, they are often skipped in school curricula and sermons from the pulpit. At the same time, these sometimes troubling narratives offer a fantastic opportunity to explore the complexities of the biblical characters, engage in meaningful ways with our ancient texts, and wrestle in a way that clarifies understandings of ourselves and our approaches to our received tradition. $36 for members; $50 for nonmembers

Join us at Lakewood Country Club for a mens-only program featuring nosh, drinks, and topical discussion led by one of our clergy.
