Meet our Education Team
Rabbi Amy heads up our education team and sets the direction by which we implement the ISJL curriculum, a proven religious school curriculum which provides spiraling curriculum for each grade level in ten key content areas. She teams with our Board of Directors and Education VP to establish education policy, and teams with our Education Coordinator and Administrator to run the religious school. None of this would work if it wasn't for the efforts of our dedicated team of teachers! Read more below about our team members.

Community Seder - a BCRC Tradition
On Saturday April 8 at 6 PM, BCRC continues its annual tradition of a community seder on the first Saturday of Passover. Rabbi Amy will join with song leader Rachel Gomberg to lead the seder. We will provide a chicken entree and ask families to bring a side dish or dessert that is kosher for Passover. BCRC permits legumes including chickpeas, peas, and lentils as well as quinoa and rice. Click here to RSVP by Apr 3 - free for members, $10/adult (13 and over) for public.
Helper Family Returns: Please Sign Up!
Beginning this year, BCRC is bringing back the Helper Family program for Friday Erev Shabbat services. We encourage each family unit (including single members) to volunteer as a helper family for one or two Erev Shabbat services each year. This is a mitzvah for the BCRC community, and a great way for you to connect with other congregants. Click HERE to sign up. Click HERE to see full instructions for helper families. Thank you!
