Our History
1997 - Founded by 5 families looking for place to celebrate their Judaism and educate their children in a liberal Jewish setting. First services held at local Ruritan Club and member homes and led by a visiting rabbinical student.
1998 - Hired student rabbi and established a home for religious school. Continued to hold services at rotating locations.
2005- A property to purchase was identified and the congregation decided to pursue the opportunity to find a permanent home.
2007 – After a period of significant growth, BCRC moved into its first permanent congregational home in Ashburn VA.
2010 – Hired our first full-time rabbi.
Today - Today, we carry on our entrepreneurial legacy with substance, vitality and vision. We now have about 120 families in our congregation and 80 children enrolled in our religious school in grades pre-K through 11.

BCRC news & Notes
Purim at BCRC
While we may not be able to get together in person this year, we will still enjoy a joyous celebration of Purim. It is a Purim tradition to give Mishloach Manot, or Purim gifts, to friends and family. Be on the lookout for Purim boxes filled with goodies to each member household the week of Feb. 22. On Purim (Thurs Feb 25) join us for a “straight from the book” Megillah reading with Rabbi Amy at 6 pm online. Link info to come. On Friday, February 26, BCRC will celebrate Purim Shabbat with an online Dr. Seuss Purim shpiel video performed by BCRC members and edited by 5th grader Zachary Schneider. We look forward to seeing you there!
