B'nai Israel Congregation

*Every Monday when B’nai Israel offices are open.

Join us as we continue our study of Berakhot, which includes a comprehensive discussion of the Shema and Amidah, the essential components of the prayer service. Newcomers are more than welcome to join us. No prior knowledge is necessary.

Jewish women have made many great contributions to science. Though a few have been given recognition, many have barely been acknowledged. We will discuss a number of these women, putting into context the historical times in which they lived and what their discoveries meant to the world at the time and now. Co-sponsored by the Blumberg-Zalis Family Library.

All (not just the ladies!) are welcome to come play Mah Jongg, Canasta, Bridge, or another favorite game (Rummikub or poker, anyone?). Please register by November 22. Contact Sue Edwards (suzied25@gmail.com) or Beverly Markowitz (beverly.markowitz@yahoo.com). Co-hosted by Men’sClub.

A welcoming, inclusive environment for Jewish women to connect, share, and support one another. (Like a book club but without the homework!)
