On alternating weeks, join Rabbi Roly Matalon to prepare the soul and open the heart for Shabbat morning prayers through the singing of piyutim and brief reflections.
Through the modality of cultivating breath awareness, a spiritual resource that helps us remain in the present, we will sit together with Yiscah Smith and explore within ourselves, in quietude, the spiritual meaning and emotional experience of sacred chutzpah.
Shabbat morning services at BJ — join us in person or online. All welcome.
We are excited to offer this lively service, featuring songs, stories, Torah reading, and more! This service is intended for families with children from birth through age 7.
While eyes are on Gaza, join us as Rabbi Arik Ascherman illuminates poignant parallels between the experiences of West Bank Palestinians today and of Japanese Americans post-Pearl Harbor. Rabbi Ascherman led Rabbis for Human rights for 21 years and founded Torat Tzedek.
Yiscah Smith returns to BJ, joining us from Jerusalem, to share her Torah with us: Explore the high value that Jewish tradition places on self-confidence and being able to trust in one’s self and one’s judgment.
Join us in virtual community for arvit (the evening service), as we maintain a collective spiritual practice while supporting all those in our midst who are saying Kaddish. We will conclude with havdalah and end Shabbat together as a community.
