The situation in Ukraine continues to weigh heavily on our hearts as we see the war there causing destruction and endangering citizens. The people in Ukraine need us; please consider taking action, however you can, to support the people of Ukraine.
A Call to Action on Ukraine
Visit "This Shabbat at BJ," a hub for everything you need to participate in Shabbat services at BJ.
As we celebrate Purim in this year of shemita (which literally means “release”), join us as we turn things a bit upside down and release into all the things that Purim offers us. This year, release into joy and community; into celebration and laughter.
See what's happening
Last Shabbat started like every other Shabbat for me, with the lighting of candles. However, unlike most Shabbatot, I was not standing with my family. Instead, I was surrounded by 25 7th- and 8th-grade teens from the BJ community in a hotel in Washington, DC. After studying the Holocaust, these teens were spending the weekend there, enjoying Shabbat together, touring the monuments, and visiting the Holocaust Museum.
