Get Involved

---

The women of B’nai Israel come together in friendship to provide activities that benefit the congregation and the community as well as enhance individual growth in a Jewish atmosphere. Contact Michelle Rosen for more information.

To implement our mission, we collaborate with the Board of Education of BIRS (B'nai Israel Religious School) and the Jewish Federation.  The IAC has close ties with AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee),  ADL (Anti-Defamation League) and with PRIMER (Promoting Responsibility in Middle East Reporting). 

 We encourage other members of the congregation to participate in our efforts to educate themselves and others on our mission to fight antisemitism.  Please reach out to Rabbi Polokoff if you would like to join us or simply to learn more or sit in on one of our upcoming meetings. 

Makhela is a group of committed adult performers who have a calling for spiritual music. Our choir prepares a wide range of music, accompanied or a cappella, including classical, contemporary, or jazz styles. Within Makhela choir members do not need to read music but they need to commit to learning their individual parts via technical tools. 

B’nai Israel embraces lifelong learning and adult education.  Rabbi Eric and others teach classes open to the community.  In particular we invite you to consider attending:
