Consider making a gift to this year's Kol Nidre Partnership Appeal. Watch the video to learn why hineini is more than I am present, for us at BJ it means we are here for our members and community at large in both joyous and difficult times.
This Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur was full of meaningful teachings, discussions, and song. Here's a quick look to all of the teachings as well as ways to watch in full.
We are so delighted to welcome you back to our beloved Sanctuary for Shabbat services and Morning Minyan on Mondays and Thursdays, with seats available for vaccinated BJ members and non-members alike.

As the children pray, they look intently at us as they try to follow the motions while they sing. “Shema”—we place our hands next to our ears, “Yisrael”—we create a book with our two hands, “Adonai”—we wave our hands gently in front and above us, “Eloheinu”—we bring our hands to our hearts, “Adonai”—we wave our hands again and then, at the very end, as we say the word “Ehad” we each hold our pointer finger out.
