young professionals
B’nai Israel’s Young Professionals group strives to develop a sense of community for our 20s and 30s. Many of our events take place during larger congregational programs, enabling age-specific gatherings within the larger congregational context.
To join the Young Professionals group email list or to learn about special membership incentives and opportunities for younger congregants, please contact Rabbi Berkowitz’s office.
If you would like to participate in the leadership team, which works to schedule and plan programs, please contact Yuval Ifrah.
