BAD JEWS

Saturday, September 13 at 5:30pm

 

 

What are the limits to forgiveness? Are there sins out there for which forgiveness or redemption is impossible? Are there people that we would never forgive?

Be a good Jew, and join us for Selichot this year!

Please register by Thursday, September 4th.

To fully observe the holiday of Sukkot, you will want to own a set of arbah minim, the four species (Lulav and Etrog), which will be blessed each morning of the holiday to remind us of God’s bounties. We will place a group order and have them available at BSBI to pick up before the Sukkot holiday. Please contact the office to order your set by September 15. 

For Hoshana Rabbah, you will need to order a bundle of hoshanot (willows) for $6, by September 15.
