For many years, B'nai Chaim has supported Habitat for Humanity by manning the Pumpkin Patch where Halloween pumpkins grown down south are sold to eager families. We hope you will join us for this fun mitzvah and opportunity to volunteer:
- 10:00 am till 2:00 pm -- sell pumpkins
- 2:00 pm till dusk -- sell pumpkins
- 12:30 pm -- unload the semi-trailer full of newly arrived pumpkins
The pumpkin patch is in Lakewood a the NE corner of Garrison and Alameda.
Please RSVP to Lisa if you will be able to join us.
Come on out to help your friends clean our stretch of Bowles Ave. Dates to be announced.
In March of 2020, Rabbi Harris will lead a trip to the Land of Israel. Learn more here and then sign up!
Sometimes we venture away from our synagogue to celebrate Shabbat out in the community. Besides being new and interesting, this gives the opportunity to participate to those who might otherwise not be able to attend. We hope you can join us for Shabbat Out and About. Stay tuned for details about the next event.
"Children of Life"
Our small, vibrant, and growing congregation serves the Reform Jewish communities of southwest Denver, Littleton, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, the Ken Caryl area and the nearby foothills.
Our synagogue offers a warm and caring place for study, worship, and community under the leadership of Rabbi Kim Harris.
Our membership includes young families, single parent families, single and married adults, empty nesters, retirees, Jews by birth, Jews by choice, parents raising Jewish children, Jews of the LGBT community, secular Jews, multicultural families, and those who are rediscovering their Jewish identities.

B'nai Chaim offers several adult Hebrew classes:
Beginner and One Level Up from Aleph Bet -- Taught by Sandy at the Temple on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM and/or Wednesday. The books used are the "Aleph Isn't Tough" series (1-5) by Linda Motzkin. It is available on Amazon. The class usually follows the Religious School schedule, but different arrangements are occasionally made, so please stay in touch with Sandy.
Please note: A $36 contribution to Religious School is requested as tuition, and students need to buy their own books.
Who among us is so busy that he or she cannot spend 10 minutes a day in the study of a Jewish text? Just 10 minutes? Such a commitment would enable us to meet our Jewish obligation to make Jewish study a fixed occurrence. We make time to answer our cell phones a dozen times a day and to check our email five times an hour...
