Summary |
Next time you visit BCRC, you will see the latest security improvements which will help to protect our building against any potential threat. Pictured here are our new security rated doors. While they present a welcoming appearance that is consistent with our new architectural master plan, the wood grain conceals thick galvanized steel and shatterproof glass which make them difficult for an intruder to penetrate. These doors will be electronically set to lock upon direction from a central controller.
Temple members will soon be set up with access to enter using our new Open Path access control system. The smart reader pictured here is mounted at the entry, and once you install the Open Path app all you need to do is walk up to the entrance and wave, and the door will unlock for you. You can also request smart card access. Non members will utilize our new video doorbell system to request entry. Using this system, our building will be protected against unauthorized entry at all hours. Still more improvements to come - we'll keep you posted.

Sanctuary & Social Renewal Project
BCRC has launched the Sanctuary & Social Renewal Project, a new fundraising project to take the next step in implementing the BCRC Master Plan. Work is now complete on the first phase, with the construction of our new movable wall between the sanctuary/social hall. We are now working on designing and building a beautiful new carved wooden ark and a new permanent bimah! Click here to read full details.

GMU Commended by JCRC
Recent antisemitic threats uncovered by security personnel at George Mason University illustrate how difficult and scary life still is for many Jewish college students. Fortunately, GMU administrators took strong steps to address these developments. The Jewish Community Resource Council (JCRC) of Greater Washington put out this statement commending GMU for their commitment to and compassion for Jewish members of their community.
