B'nai Israel Congregation

For the upholding of two specific mitzvot, the Torah tells us that we will live a long life and fare well: honoring our parents and releasing a mother bird if we take her eggs. What, if anything, unites these two mitzvot and how do we understand their alleged reward?

Designed for the youngest members of our congregational family, Tot Shabbat meets weekly to sing, learn, and pray together with Tot Shabbat leaders, Morah Juliann Goldman and Lily Pollack. Beginning July 1, this service is followed by a Family Kiddush.

Peggy will offer her impressions of an exciting and memorable Jewish Heritage tour to Buenos Aires taken in March by a group of B’nai Israel congregants. During the eight day journey, led by Rabbi Safra and Sharon Safra, the group toured many historic sites of the city and beyond. The main focus of our trip, however, was to learn about the largest Jewish community in South America. We visited major Jewish institutions and enjoyed numerous opportunities to meet and mingle with members of the Buenos Aires Jewish community.
