Please Contact us if Interested in Joining

For years many of our BMH-BJ children have sung with the Cantor on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
Cantor Goldstein would love for our BMH-BJ families to join us once again under his leadership in Cantor Marty’s Kids Choir.

We plan to begin rehearsing in the first week in August. Rehearsals will be short, less than an hour for four or five weeks in a row until we reach the holidays.

Cantor Goldstein would love to begin his time at BMH-BJ by having these talented motivated young people lend their unique sound to our sacred space. If you think your kids or grandchildren would be interested in this please contact Ilene Rosen (director@bmh-bj.org) in the BMH-BJ office or respond by email.

In courtesy to our volunteer staff, please remit your donation and listings as soon as possible and please no later than July 20, 2018.

Should you have any questions or need assistance with your Yizkor booklet dedications please

Inheritance is the story of Monika Hertwig, the daughter of mass murderer Amon Goeth.

Using the power of film, Hummus! the Movie tells a different, more personal, more truthful story of life in Israel – where women and men and people of all faiths are free to live, work and raise families in one of the smallest countries in the world – in relative peace, and with at least one thing in common: hummus!
