LITTLE CHEF'S CHALLAH BAKE

We are excited to share that BTBJ is participating in the the Berger Yachad Network run by Jewish Learning Venture . Andrea Magill is serving as our Congregational Parent Ambassador for BTBJ. In this capacity, she will be reaching out to those who are connected to our community and others from the community at large to engage families raising Jewish children in Jewish life.

Each month, we will invite families to join us for one congregational event and one additional event. The first event that we have planned will be a Little Chef's Challah Bake for children 7 & under - Sunday, November 17th (approximately 11AM-12PM, details to follow).  This is a great opportunity to bring younger siblings or introduce friends to our warm and welcoming community. Questions? Contact Andrea Magill .
