Begin your celebration of Rosh Hashanah and the new year with our congregational shlicha, Uriel Lin. Uriel will talk about honey, the beehive society, and her own family’s bee farm. Take a closer look at how honey is harvested and learn how the flowers surrounding the hives affect the taste, texture, and color of the honey. The program includes an Israeli honey tasting experience. ** The event will be in person only.

The service will be conducted by Rabbi Michael Safra and Cantor Josh Perlman. For more information, call 301-881-6550.

Noar B'Yachad program for Lessans Talmud Torah teens in grades 7 and up.

In Israel, Leonard Cohen was one of the most popular global musical stars, due largely to community memory of surprise performances among front-line troops during the desperate days of the Yom Kippur War. Matti Friedman has collected interviews, memoirs, old newspaper articles, and never-published material by Cohen himself to reconstruct his actions and thinking. Join us for a review of the book, including videos and discussions of some of his songs from that time. Sam Zaremba has been part of the B’nai Israel family since 2000. He was in Israel during the final days of the Yom Kippur War and is nearly certain he was at one of the Leonard Cohen concerts around then.
