Congregation B'nai Israel
Yizkor/Memorial Book 5781/2020-2021
Dear Member or Friend of Congregation B'nai Israel:
One of the most emotionally moving customs of our congregation is the remembrance of our departed relatives and friends. The 5781/2020-2021 version of our Memorial Book will be used during Yizkor Services and other occasions throughout the year.
This is a year like no other. For that reason, we are reaching out to let you know of some modifications that we are making so that we can continue to produce the book, albeit in a different form. We are, at this point, uncertain as to whether we will be able to hold High Holy Day Services in our sanctuary, virtually, or both. Regardless, you will receive the book via email to enable you to participate in our Yom Kippur Yizkor Service from your home, if need be. Books in hard copy will be made available for those who wish to have them.
As a member, if you had a listing in last year's book, it will be repeated unchanged. If you have any changes, corrections or sadly, additions, or any other questions, please contact one of us listed below by August 1, 2020 and we will assist you. We may not be able to make corrections, additions or changes after that date.
Please include your written instructions and donation, payable by check, and mail by August 1st

As in the past, non-members are invited to participate, at a required minimum donation of $18 per line.
If we do not hear from members, their listings will remain unchanged. If we do not hear from non-members, their listings will not be included.
Thank you in advance for your participation and understanding in these difficult times.

OctOctober 6 , 2020Messianic Movements in Jewish History led by Dr. Andrew Meyer
Tuesday, Oct 6th 10:30a to 11:30a
This course, led by Dr Andrew Meyer, History Professor at Brooklyn College, will cover aspects of the messianic tradition in Jewish history. We will begin with a general discussion of the idea of the Messiah and its origins in Jewish scripture and religious practice. Subsequent sessions will cover three messianic movements in Jewish history, respectively: 1)The Bar Kokhba Revolt (132 C.E.-136 C.E.); 2)The Sabbatai Zevi (1626 C.E.-1676 C.E.) Affair; 3)The career of Jacob Frank (1726 C.E.-1791 C.E.). Over all sessions, we will discuss the different ways in which Jews have understood the identity and role of the Messiah, the impact that messianic movements have had on the evolution of the Jewish tradition as a whole, and the different ways in which scholars have approached the study of messianism in Jewish history. The course will be streamed via zoom and advance registration is required for each session of the class in order to be sent the zoom link.
