We are B’nai Jehudah

Important High Holy Day Update

To keep our community safe and healthy, all indoor Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services at B’nai Jehudah will be virtual only this High Holy Day season. Outdoor events will be held in person. Other B’nai Jehudah events – Shabbat services, Religious and Pre School classes, and other smaller events will still be held in the building, due to the smaller numbers and the ability to remain physically distant.

Hanukkah

One of the biggest challenges parents can face during Hanukkah is helping their children see that it is a distinct holiday, rather than just a "Jewish Christmas." We sat down with co-authors Joelle Reizes (she/her) and Rabbi Joseph B. Meszler (he/him) to talk about all things Hanukkah.

Measuring Demons in a Post-Pandemic World

Measuring Demons in a Post-Pandemic World jemerman December 8, 2022

COVID-19

I spent months hiding inside my home after Covid-19 was declared a global health emergency. During that time, the Talmudic description of evil spirits resonated with me. It was certainly how I felt, surrounded by invisible threats just outside my door. Since I am a children's author, I channeled these fears into a picture book featuring a supernatural spirit.
