Join us this Wednesday, at approximately 6PM for a ceremonial "Chametz Burn" in the parking lot. Bring all the chametz you care to burn.

On this Pre-Passover Palindrome of a day, Friday, April 22nd, join BK at 8:00 a.m. for services and Siyyum, done by 9:00 a.m. Taanit Bechorim: is a fast day which falls on the day before Passover and commemorates the salvation of the Israelite firstborns during the Plague of the Firstborn. The fast is traditionally avoided by participating in a siyyum celebration at the conclusion of the morning services. We will celebrate the conclusion of a block of Jewish text study. This creates an atmosphere of rejoicing that overrides the requirement to continue the fast.

Join us for Shabbat services.

Next Wednesday, April 27- Passover Week- BK's Annual Trek
Plan to kibbitz, dig, schlep, hammer- just another day in the life of our congregation! We will meet at Bnai Keshet at 8 am, recite some blessings and then caravan to Paterson. Bring friends and family (16 and older) and a bagged lunch.  RSVP!!! Needed for us to plan: Email Marian Golan
