Purim at BCRC
03/25/2019 08:05:47 AM
Purim at BCRC was a very festive event this year! We started with a Megillah reading by Rabbi Amy (and all of the attendees) on the actual date of Purim. Boo Haman! Have you ever joined us to read the entire Book of Esther? If not, try it next year - it is considered a mitzvah to read it on Purim! On Friday we had our traditional Purim spiel. This year we presented "Spooky Purim! - A Musical Purim Shpiel and Erev Shabbat Service (sort of)". Another great show! Why pay those high prices for Broadway when you can get the same level of entertainment at BCRC? Sunday our pre K-7th grade classes first performed one of the important mitzvoth of Purim, giving gifts to the needy ("matanot l'evyonim"), by making bagged lunches to be distributed to a local shelter. That was followed by our Purim carnival, with many fun games, crafts, hamantaschen, and that good ol' BCRC Purim favorite, pizza! Click here to see the photo album (must be logged in for privacy). Thanks to all the volunteers who made this happen!

Community Seder - a BCRC Tradition
On Saturday April 8 at 6 PM, BCRC continues its annual tradition of a community seder on the first Saturday of Passover. Rabbi Amy will join with song leader Rachel Gomberg to lead the seder. We will provide a chicken entree and ask families to bring a side dish or dessert that is kosher for Passover. BCRC permits legumes including chickpeas, peas, and lentils as well as quinoa and rice. Click here to RSVP by Apr 3 - free for members, $10/adult (13 and over) for public.
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!
