Taste of Judaism: Are You Curious?

BAJC was fortunate to receive a grant from the Union for Reform Judaism to run the 3-session class, A Taste of Judaism in 5770. We explored the topics of Jewish spirituality, ethics and community values. This class is designed for those who would like to explore or re-explore the foundations of our tradition and are contemplating an entry into Jewish life.

Torah Study

Monthly lay-led Torah Study is generally held monthly, preceeded by Shacharit service.
Interested in Torah Study resources?

Significant Jewish Books Club

Meeting at the shul over a potluck supper, the club discusses a new book monthly.
Open to all.

Tahara

The process for preparing the deceased for burial is called tahara, or purification. As death is the end of the cycle of life, funeral rituals reflect those of birth. Just as a newborn is washed and dressed, the deceased is carefully wsahed and dressed by members of chevre kadisha.

A tahara service can be requested when funeral arrangements are made.
