The Moth at BK
We are going to try something new at Bnai Keshet on Friday, December 5th, after Kabbalat Shabbat at 7:30PM. We are asking all of you - our members and friends, to share a story with the BK family.  We have chosen the theme of providing sanctuary or a safe place. This often often requires generosity; but, could also require forgiveness.

The stories should be personal. The stories should have actually happened to you  and/or changed your life.
 
Join Rabbi Elliott Shabbat morning to discuss this month's Tikkun Midot practice, 
Savlanut/Patience.
 
 
 
 
Thank you to Toby Fox for designing this month's banners!
