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.

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.

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...
