Summary |
Last Saturday, Jan 20, BCRC held its first 'Winter Escape', at thd Freedom Center in Leesburg. This event was an adaptation of an annual Winter event held at Rabbi Amy's Rochester temple, which gives people a chance to escape that mid-Winter cabin fever and romp in the snow. Well, we not only had no snow but had one of the warmest days of the winter! So our Winter Escape involved a hike around the lake and outdoor activities like tree climbing, as well as indoor activities such as games and a skit illustrating this week's torah portion organized by Rabbi Amy. Did you know that this week, not the week of Passover, is the week for the portion about Moses and the exodus from Egypt? Before a great dinner, Charles Gibson led a cooking lesson in how to make a Shivat Hamanim (7 species of Tu B'Shevat) salad. Click here to see the recipe. We ended with a s'mores Havdalah around the campfire. Check out our photo album here (must be logged in to view photos for privacy purposes).

It's Purim Again
Purim is coming soon and BCRC will be pulling out all stops to celebrate this year. Starting Saturday March 9, Women of BCRC held an adult costume party! Fun was had by all. At March 22 services we have a Tot Shabbat at 6:30 and will be reading the Megillah (in English) at the adult service at 7:30. Costumes are welcome for both. Finally our Purim Spiel: A Barbie Purim will be a gala stand-alone event, Saturday Mar 23 at 7 PM. Guests are welcome! For security purposes guests must pre-register here.
