Is there any holiday in the Jewish calendar more fun than Purim? Doubtful! Dress up, play games, make a ruckus, cheer and boo, eat hamentaschen, have a snoot full (adults only).
Mark your calendar for these fun events:
Sunday, March 17, 9:30-12:00 AM -- Purim Carnival. Megillah reading, hot dog lunch, kids' games, Purim basket auction. Details.
Saturday, March 23, 7:30 PM -- Purim Pour' Em Wine Tasting Party. Delight in tasting various wines for Passover and choose the wines we will serve at our congregational seder! Select and order wines for your own table with proceeds going to B'nai Chaim! Heavy hors d'oeuvres and hamentaschen! Adult fun with the Purim story -- costumes encouraged. See you at temple! $25 for a whole evening of fun. RSVP to rabbiharris18@gmail.com by February 25. Details.
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. See flyer for details.
- Friday, October 26 -- 5:45 pm dinner, 7:30 service at Brookdale.

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...
