EMERSON—Congregation B’nai Israel, an innovative, conservative Jewish synagogue, is welcoming prospective new members with a six-month free trial membership during the period Jan. 1 through June 30, 2022.
By taking advantage of the trial membership, families with young children can introduce them to a synagogue, Jewish culture, traditions and prayer. Families can participate in traditional services as well as services geared specifically for children.
During the free membership period, children can “audit” the Hebrew School, where the dedicated Hebrew School teachers make learning a fun and interesting experience.
Congregation B’nai Israel is composed of 180 families from the Pascack Valley, Northern Valley, Oradell, Paramus, Dumont, Haworth and Closter. Regardless of age, it is a great place to meet other Jewish families who enjoy celebrating their religious roots.
For individuals and families without children, Congregation B’nai Israel is a great place to take advantage of Shabbat and Sunday morning services, book and movie discussions, adult education, social events, magic shows and holiday celebrations. The musically themed Shabbats are always a congregation pleaser.
Rabbi Debra Orenstein and Cantor Lenny Mandel provide engaging spiritual and meaningful leadership that stimulates interaction and contemplation on numerous religious, social and timely subjects.
To take advantage of the trial offer, or to arrange a visit, write membership@bisrael.com or call the temple at (201) 265-2272. The synagogue is at 53 Palisade Ave.
