Friday Night Feast
A free, catered Shabbat feast! Welcome Shabbat with tableside blessings, then enjoy delicious fare and each others' company. Our program is after dinner. Invite friends who have never been to BIJ! This monthly event is a wonderful opportunity to introduce your friends to our BIJ Community.
This month, everything you wanted to know about finance, but were afraid to ask. David Rockman has been in the financial services and investment advisory industry for over 25 years. David's talk will cover three core points: 1) a brief overview of the basic elements that make up investing from stocks and bonds to forms of annuities and cash value insurance, 2) why planning and its objectives are a critical part of how assets should be invested and 3) legacy giving.
