God in the Town Square - The BJBE Vision

“We will create a sacred place, a Jewish town square that will become the center of our being as Jewish People.” (from the BJBE vision statement, adopted 2004)

Through dialogue and discussion we have concluded that our values are life long learning, spiritual practice and worship, social action and justice, community and Israel. The central value among these is community. BJBE is a gathering place for connection with one another and with God; a Village Center where we can congregate, share a cup of coffee, play and, in the context of a caring community, discover the meaning and purpose of our lives.

Dear Congregants,

BJBE was proud to host the “Singing for S’mores” Concert to benefit Reform Jewish camping yesterday. We are even prouder to announce that we raised more than $17,000 for our camps! Congratulations to Cantor Frost, Melissa Prober, Bonnie Litch, Cathy Horwitz and the dozens of other volunteers and professionals who made the Chicago concert, the most successful concert in the country! Thank you to everyone who came and who supported our camping system.

WEDNESDAY MORNING MINYON: Our weekday morning Minyan continues on Wednesday’s from 6:45-7:15 AM at BJBE. Cantor Frost has recorded an audio CD to help us learn the weekday morning prayer melodies. If you would like a copy of the CD, please email Rabbi Stoller at bstoller@bjbe.org. What a wonderful way to start your day and also a great way to support your fellow congregants who may need to say Kaddish for a loved one.
