COVID-19 STATUS
In keeping with the recommended guidelines for social gatherings during this period of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in keeping with the Jewish view that gives primacy to preserving life, BJC has replaced all in-person gatherings at our building with virtual gatherings. Meetings with the Rabbi or administrative staff —where all parties are masked—may be made by appointment.
Join us on Zoom and live streaming where we will continue to support and uplift each other until we can meet in person again. Please read BJC Now, our newsletter, and refer to the calendar for details. Click here to subscribe to BJC Now.

Please remember that you remain part of a loving and caring community concerned for your spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Should you or a family member experience any illness, injury, loss, or simply wish to talk to someone, please contact the Rabbi
