Service Attendance Requirements
Service Attendance Requirements
In preparation for Jewish life and to reinforce Religious School learning it is vital that your child has a familiarity with Jewish worship. The more often you attend services as a family, the more natural the words and choreography of prayer will become and the greater will be your family's connection to the community. The following are the minimum number of services to be attended by each student during the academic year:
Grade | Friday/Festival Evening | Saturday/Festival Morning |
8-10 | 8 | 1 |
7 | 5 | 5 |
6 | 5 | 5 |
5 | 10 | 3 |
4 | 8 | 1 |
3 | 8 | 1 |
2 | 3 Tot & 2 Family Shabbat | |
1 | 3 Tot Shabbat | |
K | 3 Tot Shabbat | |
Pre-K | 1 Tot Shabbat |
A service attendance card is to be found outside the sanctuary. Please have your child fill the card out and hand it to the rabbi/service leader at the conclusion of the service and encourage them to wish the leader of prayer a warm “Shabbat Shalom!” or “Chag Sameach!”
Summer services, since the end of the last school year, count towards this year. If you attend service at another synagogue, have an official (rabbi, cantor, board member) sign that you were in attendance. And remember, if you were at a URJ camp over the summer… every service attended counts!
Children that fulfill their service requirement will receive a reward at the end of the year.

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!
