Summary |
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!

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.
