We are so excited to kick off the year in the BJ Teen Program with our annual Teen Retreat! We will travel to Eisner Camp to reconnect with friends, enjoy the beautiful atmosphere, celebrate Shabbat, and jumpstart an incredible year!
Kick off the school year with a light breakfast and some pre-service socializing! This brunch is for families with children from birth through 6th grade, creating space to connect, catch up, and start the year in community.
Led by BJ’s new rabbinic fellow, Iliana Brodsky, we’ll explore how comfort and consolation are expressed in our tradition, and consider how embracing comfort as a spiritual posture can deepen our preparation for the High Holy Days.
Mark the end of Shabbat with a Havdalah ceremony, followed by guided journaling. We'll look back on the past year, its highs, lows, and lessons, and set thoughtful intentions for the year ahead. We'll provide light snacks and journaling materials.
