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.

We invite you to join this havurah, led by Jonathan Silver, as we search for deeper kavannah (intention) in our prayers, ritual practice, and weekly Torah portion.

Whether you are well-versed in High Holy Day traditions and prayer or just beginning your exploration, Senior Rabbinic Fellow Joe Blumberg will guide us through the essential prayers and practices, helping us find personal meaning and intention for this sacred season.

This season invites us to engage in forgiveness, accept our mortality, and envision the year ahead. As we grow older, these themes resonate differently. Join BJ member Linda Thal, co-author of Wise Aging, to reflect on this meaningful time.

Start your day with soulfulness and equanimity with this weekly mindfulness meditation practice, led by Rabbi Shuli Passow and informed by themes from the Torah portion.

Dip into the world of daf yomi (daily Talmud study) with this weekly look at highlights from the past week’s pages. All are welcome—you do not need any prior experience studying Talmud.
