*In order to more effectively provide minyanim for those observing Yahrzeit, we are now offering Evening Zoom Minyan on Tuesdays through Thursdays only when we are advised in advance of a Yahrzeit observance. If you would like us to convene a minyan for a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evening, please contact the Temple Office at 215-735.5148 at least three working days in advance. We encourage everyone to join the BZBI Minyan Alerts WhatsApp group for the most up-to-date information about weekday services.
