We encourage all members to participate in the life of the congregation in whatever way they feel comfortable. Religious School Programs - Room parents act as liaisons between small unique classes and home. They often assist children with hands on experiential projects. Adult Education - Members organize or lead discussions on diverse topics such as Jewish poetry, wisdom, mysticism, or raising children in interfaith families. Religious Services - Members create and lead service on a variety of themes such as the meaning of prayer liturgy, and the role of women in Jewish life.
Members also participate in the choir.
Social Action - Members donate food to shelters, visit the elderly, collect blankets for the homeless, and sponsor educational forums. We seek to create an atmosphere that supports personal exploration and growth of our Jewish identiy. BJC welcomes interfaith families. All Bar and Bat Mitzvah candidates prepare their own unique services with the help of the rabbi and BJC educators. Members write and select readings to supplement the traditional High Holiday services.
