New Book by BCRC Author
08/07/2018 02:12:23 PM
One of our congregants, David Mendelsohn, has written a new book which provides compelling evidence of the afterlife/heaven/reincarnation. The story follows the lives of three main characters, fictitious but drawn from real life cases, and a psychiatrist who finds her core beliefs challenged by her patients experiences. It's an intriguing story. While "heaven" is an integral tenet of other major religions, it is not emphasized in Judaism. Only 18% of Jewish people believe there is an afterlife. This novel may modify your beliefs. The book is titled, "DEATH IS A TRANSITION" and will be available on Amazon in both print and Kindle editions (list both author and book title when searching on Amazon).
Other books by David are: 'A WHITE MOUSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE", suitable for children ages 5 to 10, and"THE JOURNEY OF MOSES AND POLARIS". Enjoyed by children ages 8 and up and adults, as Moses' dog narrates their adventures.

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!
