Jewish Movie Night - "The Band's Visit" - Thursday, June 21st 7pm
B'nai Shalom is hosting Jewish Movie Night! Join us on Thursday, June 21 at 7:00pm. Members and non-members welcome.

The movie "The Band’s Visit", which inspired the Best Musical Tony Award of the same name, is about eight Egyptian musicians who comprise the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra arrive by mistake in a small town in Israel's Negev Desert. Their booking set for a different city, and with no transportation out of the town or any hotels to stay at, the band settles at a restaurant owned by Dina (Ronit Elkabetz), who offers them lodging. Overcoming ethnic barriers, the Egyptians find diversion and companionship with the Israelis through a pervading undercurrent of shared melancholy.

Back near the beginning of June, our WAFTY Senior Youth group led a beautiful Shabbat service crafted by graduating senior, Kaila Goldstein. In it, we heard from several of our teens, some of whom had been to Israel and others who had not, speak about some of the ways they seek to have a relationship and sense of connection with Israel.
Welcome to the Religious School, Hebrew School and Chai School re-enrollment process for the 2018 – 2019 school year. We are so pleased to have your child returning to Congregation B'nai Shalom for another great year.
A Message from RobI hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful spring weather and is looking forward to the summer. Taking a look back at the winter, you will recall that the building sustained some damage during the incredible cold spell that we experienced just after New Year’s Day. The good news, as most of you have likely seen, is that the walls have been put back together and painted, and the carpets have been cleaned.
