Voices of Partnership: A Week with BJ’s Israeli Partners and Friends

As part of BJ’s bicentennial celebration, we are excited to welcome a remarkable delegation of rabbis, educators, and community leaders from across Israel whose work has shaped a vibrant, pluralistic Jewish landscape in Israel. These longtime BJ partners represent organizations including HaMidrasha at Oranim-Hechalutz, Beit Tefilah Israeli, Kol HaNeshama, Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem, the Varda Institute, and MINYAN.

Throughout the week, the delegation will take part in public events, Shabbat services, and intimate gatherings across our community. Together, we’ll explore the civic and spiritual response to October 7, the search for Jewish meaning in a time of upheaval, and the future of our shared Jewish story.

This delegation is generously sponsored by Steve Stulman as part of BJ’s bicentennial celebration.
