The 2018 Community Seder was a Great Success!
04/03/2018 11:30:26 AM
Our Community Seder, held on Saturday March 31, attracted our largest attendance ever! We had over 80 attendees, including congregants, guests, and a good number of attendees from outside BCRC. Rabbi Amy led the Seder with our song leader Rachel Gomberg. Everyone was involved in readings, which even included the four questions read in multiple languages! We learned about some customs not everyone may be familiar with, such as the Miriam's Cup and the use of spring onions to symbolize whips, demonstrated by Stacy Kafka. Following the very enthusiastically received Seder (and the downing of the 4 cups of wine), we had a wonderful dinner, with chickens generously donated by Wegman's (thanks to the Raffmans for arranging), and various traditional sides and desserts provided by our attendees. Special thanks to the Scotts for the matzoh ball soup and charoset, and thanks to all the other families for their donat
ions! And a big 'todah rabah' to Charles Gibson for perfectly coordinating this event, along with all the members of the volunteer team who worked tirelessly to shop, prepare food and set up and clean up afterwards. Check out the pictures (mostly provided by Sonja Benson) on the Seder Photo Album (must be logged in to view for privacy purposes).

Announcing Sanctuary & Social Renewal Sprint 2
Our goal is to raise $50,000 by June 30 to build a spiritual Jerusalem stone wall backdrop integrated with the bimah, with recessed lighting and built-in space for a permanent ark.We plan to have the sanctuary construction done during the summer so that we can be ready for the High Holy Days. We thank everyone who has donated to our earlier phase.
Above you can see a rendering of these exciting plans (place holders for ark and furniture). Along with the movable wall and new seating these changes will begin to give our sanctuary the feel of a permanent worship space. Click here to read full details on the project.
