Advanced Judaism for Beginners with Rabbi Elliott
9:00am - 10:00am on the First Shabbat of the month
Resolve unanswered questions. Deepen your Jewish path. Study core concepts of Jewish ethical life. Take your Jewish prayer and practice to the next level. All levels are welcome.

Intermediate Prayer with Rabbi Ariann
9:00am - 10:00am on the Second Shabbat of the month
Drop in with Rabbi Ariann for a deep dive of the siddur and morning prayer service. We will talk about the basics, but more important, dig deeply in the sources to understand the development of the siddur through time, the theological and spiritual dimensions of our prayer service as we have inherited it, and the particular Reconstructionist twists we find in our own siddur. Ideal for both beginners and experienced daveners (people who pray).
2024-25 Sessions: Oct 26, Dec 14, Jan 4, Mar 8, Apr 12, May 10.
*note: class will not meet in Feb.

Are you one of our regular readers or wish you could be, and want to brush up on your skills?

Ongoing Learning Opportunities
Talmud Class
In person at BK and Zoom every Saturday and Sunday at 9:00am
Zoom only every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00pm
Dip your feet into the Talmud, the 2000-year-old discussion of Jewish Law that is studied daily in Yeshivos around the world. This year, our group is learning Berakhot, laws of prayer.
No prior Talmudic experience needed. We can help you jump right into the 2000-year-old conversation. Come to many or as few sessions as you want. All are welcome no matter how often or how frequently they come.
Contact Marty Fellner, Zach Lipner or Jordan Sklar with questions.
The Rosh Hodesh group at Bnai Keshet is an open, warm, social and friendly group for all women in the community. The group meets in the evening closest to the new moon to celebrate the coming month, exploring the spirituality of the month by discussing the upcoming holidays and the theme of the month. Together the group chants, sits quietly, sometimes engages in some easy stretching or even dancing and then an exercise centered on the theme of the month, leaving the participants with words, thoughts, and intentions for the month to come.
Contact Mindy Rosenthal for more info.
