Holidays and Events

Our children experience Jewish holidays in an engaging, hands on and fun style.  We celebrate Sukkot on a working farm, host a Hanukkah family day program, share a Purim spiel and our annual Purim festival, and volunteer in the local community on Mitzvah Day. Experience the magic of the Jewish year as a family, in community.

High Holidays

Join the BJEP community’s all welcoming, inclusive and joyful High Holiday Family Services. Participate in community, find meaning in the prayers, sing loudly, learn more and reflect on the year as a family. BJEP’s Jewish Sunday School High Holiday family services integrate tradition and creativity, and we welcome all to join us.
