Support West Side Judaica
In the Talmud, Rav Yosef explains that when choosing to give financial support to competing causes, local causes always come first. This is one of many reasons BJ firmly supports West Side Judaica (at 2412 Broadway between 88th and 89th Streets). Though known primarily for its superb selection of books and ritual objects, the sever panim yafot (warm and welcoming faces) of its staff provide something no website can. As it confronts an extraordinary rent increase, we urge you to support this essential building block of our Jewish community.
