Community

Bnai Keshet provides a real community that responds to many different interests. Along with our full schedule of religious services and religious school classes, members are offered a wide range of courses, family events, social action projects, social get-togethers, discussion groups, and interfaith-union support groups.

There are many opportunities to get involved in the Bnai Keshet community through participation in our various committees. Contact the Committee Chair for more information.

So, you want to plan a program or event at BK?
One of the wonderful things about Bnai Keshet is the range of programs that our members help to develop. As we grow, we want to continue to encourage innovation and imagination. At the same time, we want to be sure that our programs meet the needs of all of our congregants, and that we coordinate programming to avoid duplication and to enable members to attend as many of the programs as they choose. Therefore, the Long Range Planning Committee recommended that we establish the position of Program Coordinator. Lois Infeld has graciously agreed to serve in this volunteer position. If you would like to suggest a program, please contact the appropriate committee chair or contact Lois Infeld. Please fill out the Program Planning Form. As Coordinator, Lois will integrate events into a schedule that results in a smooth running calendar.
