BJBE is a safe space for the LGBTQ community, and we welcome you with love and open arms.
Click here to listen to Rabbi Kedar's beautiful words (from 2/17/17) on how the Torah portion Mishpatim obligates us to have compassion and empathy for one another.
BJBE has 5 gender neutral bathrooms, and our clergy is dedicated to welcoming all into our community, including officiating at same-sex weddings and other lifecycle events.
BJBE hosts the following support group in our building. Although not sponsored by our congregation, it is open and available to our members.
