B'nai Jeshurun Congregation

We had so much fun at the Welcome Back BBQ last week! It was the perfect way to kick off a new year at B’nai Jeshurun—with great food, lots of fun, Shabbat Rocks!, and so many familiar and new faces together.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the evening so much fun, and a huge thank you to our incredible staff and volunteers who helped make it all happen. We loved celebrating our community, welcoming our new Executive Director - SooJi, and sharing a first look at our new B’nai Jeshurun brand. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1470137175151287&type=3
