FIJI Friends Needed!

 

Our FIJI students (Finding your Inner Jewish Identity), those on the path to conversion at TBE, need congregants to serve as mentors and guides on their journey to Jewish life.

 

As a FIJI Friend, you would be partnered with a FIJI Student to accompany them on their Jewish journey in a variety of social and spiritual ways. You might consider:

-planning to meet at TBE and attend services together

-inviting your Friend to celebrate holidays with you

-having Shabbat Dinner

-or just meeting for coffee and conversation

The primary obligation is to accompany these folks on their journey to becoming Jewish.

 

This is a wonderful learning opportunity for both halves of the equation. Time investment is minimal and the rewards are maximal; as you help shape a Jewish life, yours will be changed, as well! If interested or inspired, please contact Jason LeClair Here.
