We will learn about both the past and the present and hear from a few dynamic speakers! Come hear past Education Director, Susan Wyner as she reflects on her time here. Come and see as we call all of our past and present students and teachers to the bima for a meaningful group Aliyah!

The judges will take a picture with each host family and present the hosts with a gift from Men's Club. Sign up with another family to form your judging team, or we can assign you to a team! Register by calling the synagogue office or by
email.

Leadership Shabbat * October 15
Every great community is made up of greater individual elements, and B'nai Jeshurun is no exception. Part of what has kept us strong for 150 years, is the wonderful lay leadership that has always surrounded and supported us.
We would be remiss if we didn't have an occasion to thank and celebrate all they have done for this synagogue at large. Please join us as we honor the past leadership of B'nai Jeshurun, Beth Am and Bethaynu as well as the present leadership at B'nai Jeshurun.
We will hear reflections from a few dynamic members, have a group aliyah dedicated to all leadership in attendance, and reminisce over old photographs, memorabilia and mementos.
Following services, the celebration will continue with a birthday cake to celebrate the actual 150th anniversary, as well as the dedication of the 150th Anniversary Commemorative quilt that was so carefully completed over the past 14 months by Arlene Harris, Jan Greenberg, Margie Cohen, Natalie Bluestone, Sonnie Martin and Stephanie Lipscomb.
