Nicholas Wade, the science editor of the New York Times from 1990-96, and a science reporter for the Times since 1997,  will be visiting to discuss, among other things, his most recent book, The Faith Instinct (Penguin Press, 2009), which traces the evolution and cultural development of religion.   

Mr. Wade was born in 1942 in Aylesbury, England and educated at Eton and at King’s College, Cambridge. He received a B.A. degree in Natural Sciences in 1964.

At this experimental Shabbat service, some of our prayers will be accompanied by musical instrumentation, as a way to lend a different experience to our worship. As our community continues to explore different ways to study and celebrate on Shabbat, we hope you join in for our periodic Shabbat mornings with music, and offer your feedback about your experiences. This musical experiment is the result of a task force that met last spring. Feel free to reach out to Rabbi Darby with any questions.

In 1982, a handful of dedicated men and women met in Barbara Ribakove Gordon’s New York apartment to organize the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry (NACOEJ). Today, under her leadership, NACOEJ has some 50,000 supporters and a record of having rescued thousands of Ethiopian Jews from famine, civil war and persecution.

Farbrengen literally means “get together”. We at BK will borrow the word from the Hasidim and have a Farbrengen BK style. So, what do we want from you? Funny you should ask… We’re looking for singers, for players, for musicians for story tellers for cooks for anybody that just wants to shmooz and hang out in a heimishe atmosphere – maybe have a little schnapps and enjoy each other’s company. So, what does it cost? It costs nothing! Just come and contribute a little Yiddishkeit, maybe something to eat, something to drink… If you’re interested and have something you’d like to offer, maybe play a little tune, sing a little song, dance a little dance, then let us know.

We gather in our beautiful sanctuary every Saturday at 10:00 a.m. for Shabbat morning services which include prayers, songs, and discussion of the weekly Torah portion. After services there is a kiddush for meeting and greeting - and, of course, eating.
