Tu B'Shevat at BCRC
01/20/2019 08:00:00 PM
We had a wonderful celebration of Tu B'Shevat, the New Year of the Trees, at BCRC on
Friday, January 18. The evening began with a Tot Shabbat led by our 1st graders. Following that, we had a special Tu B'Shevat oneg/preneg featuring the traditional foods of the holiday. There was: Briyah, signifying creation - soft foods, edible throughout, like berries; Asiyah, or 'doing', with a tough outer shell and edible inside, such as the pomegranate; Yetzirah, or 'formation', with a soft outer shell and a hard pit inside, like a peach; and Atzilut, the realm of divinity, signified by foods with a sweet smell such as cinnamon. Thanks to our Worship Committee for putting together such a great oneg/preneg! Finally, Rabbi Amy and Stacy Kafka finished up the festivities by leading the congregants in the tree song (and dance). What would Tu B'Shevat be without it? Click here to see more photos of our celebration (must be logged in for privacy).

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.
