We will be "re-orienting" ourselves and finding new directions to look toward in Jewish learning - to do that we need everyone's help!
Starting at one o'clock kids and adults are invited to learn a little about Tu B'shvat and the 7 Species through the five senses. Afterwards, hear a little about exciting developments in our efforts to incorporate learning at all levels of Bnai Keshet. Finally, we'll end with "focus groups" for both kids and adults to share what each of us is really looking forward to learning at BK. And as with any focus group, participants will be "paid" (in a Shabbat appropriate way!) for their help.
