 Wine Sale & Wine Tastings!
Yes, it's time to stock up for Passover, as well as the rest of the year!
Join us at both the party following the Megillah reading at Mendota Meglliah Madness, and at the Purim Carnival for a tasting of many of our wines!
This year, in addition to our wide array of regular choices, we have additional choices available as special order options. In order to ensure that we receive them before Passover, they have an earlier deadline. See Order Form 2 for details!
Finally, anyone, not just Beth Jacob members, can order wine. Know someone with a bar/bat mitzvah, a wedding, or other event coming up? Let them know! (Info also available at beth-jacob.org)

 This Saturday! March 3, 4:30 - 7pm
 An exciting event is coming up THIS SHABBAT - it's a Seudah Shlishit sponsored by Beth Jacob and Camp Ramah in Wisconsin.
Join us at the Gewirtz house from 4:30-7pm for a Ramah-style event for the whole family, filled with friends, food, and z'mirot (singing). We'll be joined by Israelis - Roni, our St. Paul Shlicha and Emily Deutsch, a Shlicha who is visiting Beth Jacob this Shabbat. See you there!

 Shir Shacharit Services for the entire shul will start in the Saide Chapel with its close, intimate setting, allowing the room to be filled with our prayerful voices. As we conclude both Pesuke D'zimra and Shacharit, we will make our way to the main sanctuary for Torah reading and the remainder of Shabbat davening and learning. The Shaliach Tzibur will be Jonathan Erlich. |
It's beginning to look a lot like Purim...
Snow in Jerusalem!
