Open to all—members and non-members alike—no tickets needed!

Join us on Thursday, October 3rd, for a music-filled Rosh Hashanah family service for families with kids from birth to brit mitzvah-age. Kids will learn about the meaning of Rosh Hashanah, sing songs, and generally have a fun time in a relaxed atmosphere.

Then, after the service, walk with us to Prospect Park where we’ll have a short Tashlich service by the lake and ritually rid ourselves of our sins. (And by “sins,” we mean birdseed, which the ducks and geese are waiting for.) From there, we’ll stay in the park for field games like corn hole, ring toss, frisbee bottle bash, and more.

This has become an annual tradition as we all get into the swing of the new school year. It’s a perfect opportunity for parents and kids to get to know each other in a relaxed setting. Families who want to learn more about B’Shert can chat with long-time members whose kids have grown up at the congregation.

All in all, our Rosh Hashanah events are a great way to get a feel for what the B’Shert community is all about.

Here’s the day’s lineup:
October 3, 2024
1:30 pm: Rosh Hashanah Family Service at B’Shert
2:30 pm: Walk together to Prospect Park for Tashlich & field games
2:45 pm: Tashlich Service
3:00 pm: Play field games and get to know other B’Shert families

See you there!

Welcome to the first day of religious school, this Saturday, September 7th at 9:30 am!

Our Saturday religious school serves students from kindergarten through Brit Mitzvah (usually 7th or 8th grade). Shabbat morning classes focus on community-building and Jewish learning in a lively, interactive setting. The curriculum is expeditionary-style on a three-year cycle. Our 2024-25 religious school curriculum focuses on global Jewish traditions.

The first day of religious school offers a chance to learn about the curriculum, meet our Rabbi, Heidi Hoover and our Education Director, Jessie Sander, and all of our fabulous religious school teachers. You will also get to meet members of our synagogue community, with our committee chairs sharing information about what they offer and how you can get involved.

Last but not least, bagels for breakfast!

PS We take registrations the first day, but if you want to register in advance or fill out our interest form, we’d appreciate it, since it helps us with our planning.

Hi Religious School Families,
