Celebrate the end of 6th grade and the beginning of the B-Mitzvah chapter with BJ! This exciting 6th-grade Shabbaton is an opportunity to celebrate Shabbat with your friends, take part in a meaningful tzedek (justice) project, and have a blast!
Join us for a powerful commemoration of Yom Hashoah, as we come together for prayer, music, and ritual, in the presence of BJ’s Shoah Megillah, holding the names of family members of the BJ community who perished in the Holocaust. This year’s commemoration will also feature a screening of the film Etty Hillesum: Search for a Writer in Wartime.
For 25 consecutive years, the Upper West Side community has gathered to read the names of those among the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. We come together this year for the 25th anniversary of this gathering, to read the names at BJ, where this Upper West Side ritual first began.
