High Holy Days 2022/5783
In the words of Senior Rabbi Abe Friedman, the High Holy Days provide us with the change to be a “gathering of people focused beyond themselves. People transcending the mess of the world as it is to insist on a vision of the world as it should be…and to look beyond our fears to find hope and inspiration to act.”
BZBI is place that will inspire you to seek and challenge you to grow. It all starts with spending the New Year with us and organically joining a true sacred community in prayer, for Shabbat and daily minyanim; through acts of caring kindness and social justice; through adult education, Neziner Hebrew School, and Early Childhood communities.
