B’nai Sholom Reform Congregation, a Reform Jewish synagogue, is a community that fosters individual, family and congregational spirituality by engaging in worship and prayer, promoting learning on all levels, supporting each others’ needs, bettering our community and our world, and forging connections with worldwide Jewry.
We take pride in being warm, welcoming, informal, progressive, open-minded, diverse, and participatory. We strive to create a vibrant Jewish present, linking our ancient traditions with the promise of the future.
I would like you to think back a little ways, or maybe for some of us a longer ways, to when you chose to join B’nai Sholom. Why did you? What attracted you to our congregation? To some extent I think it is well stated in our mission statement:
Rabbi Donald P. Cashman was awarded the degree of Doctor of Divinity, honoris causa, by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion at its graduation ceremony at Congregation Emanu-El of the City of New York on April 30.
