Annual High Holy Days Food Drive
For 37,000 Chicago area Jews, the Yom Kippur fast is not always a voluntary activity. Please help us end the pain and shame of hunger. During Rosh Hashanah, bags are distributed for our congregants to fill with non-perishable food items and paper goods to be returned to BJBE on Yom Kippur. Items will be donated to The ARK for distribution.
Avenues to Hope
Providing Essentials to our Neighbors
BJBE’s primary social action initiative recognizes and seeks to meet the basic needs of people right in our North Shore community - and beyond. Through the three pillars of Collection, Action, and Donation, we provide a range of opportunities for congregants to make meaningful contributions in pursuit of Tikkun Olam - repairing the world - by starting with our own neighbors.
To be in service to something larger than ourselves is true greatness. It is the work of our lives.
