Thank you to BJ Shabbaton Volunteers!

This past weekend, over 500 BJ community members and guests filled our sanctuary and community house at the Back Home Shabbaton—kicking off a year of robust in-person prayer, learning, and community building around the central focus of Shabbat. We are so grateful to the Back Home Shabbaton co-chairs—Irv Rosenthal, Oriyan Schwartz, and Leah Silver—in addition to the task force and volunteers who helped bring this vision to life!
