Tonight's (1/4/2012) Wednesday Evening Minyan

Will be held at the home of Jill Stein & Ira Karasick at 115 South Fullerton Avenue, who are observing shiva for Ira's father.

Check out the photographs that Dan Epstein made at last year's Roabst of Zach Lipner on the bulletin board in the lobby. As you'll see, every year the Roabst is the funniest night of the year at BK. Don't miss this year's Roabst when we turn our attentions to Rabbi Elliott. It's sure to be a sell out, make sure you make your reservations now! And if you were in some of the photographs from Simchas Torah, and would like them, please help yourself...Dan put them in a box opposite the bulletin board in front of the BK Gift Shop. Your refrigerator door is calling out for one!
