What! You've never experienced a Polar Bear Shabbat? Don't knock it till you've tried this B'nai Chaim, Colorado tradition.
We march outside for a quick, 18-minute service and then scurry back indoors for hot chocolate, mulled cider, and games. Bring your Mah Jongg set, Trivial Pursuit, cards, Twister ... anything goes! See the flyer.
Come on out to help your friends clean our stretch of Bowles Ave. Watch this space for the next event date. Meet on the east side of Columbine Library
The trip to the Land of Israel led by Rabbi Harris will be rescheduled for a later date.
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.
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...
