9/11 Program

This Shabbat marks the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Please join us in the Beit Midrash after davening as BDJers share their memories of that terrible day and of those who were lost. We hope that this experience of sharing can inspire us to focus on what is truly important in life, in particular as Yom Kippur approaches.
Shabbat Shuvah Drasha

“תַּן דַּעְתְּךָ שֶׁלֹּא תְּקַלְקֵל וְתַחֲרִיב אֶת עוֹלָמִי : Yom Kippur as Earth Day”.

In the Drasha, Rav Yosef will utilize foundational sources within Biblical and Rabbinic tradition to create an authentic and empowering Jewish framework for approaching the challenge of our generation. The subject matter of the spiritual responsibility God has given us for the planet and for the people who live on it is particularly close to his heart.

The Shabbat Shuvah Drasha is one of the central gatherings of our year, when we take the time to deeply explore an idea and its ramifications for the way we live, as individuals and as a B'nai David community. Please be sure to join us. Childcare will be provided in Rechov Yeladim.

The Drasha is dedicated to the memory of Albert Kanefsky a”h, on the occasion of his 19th yahrzeit.
