We're getting ready to start the first step of our Masa journey this year, and feeling pretty excited for the new Jewish Year to begin on Rosh Hashanah! It's a time where we celebrate newness, the change in the seasons and the ability to start fresh with a sweet, amazing year.

That being said, the month of Tishrei is jam-packed with Jewish holidays, lots of ways to reflect, celebrate and gather together in community. So we're starting out Masa with a month of events, some open to the entire community, some for BHA-members only, with the chance to get to know one another and celebrate the holidays and this moment of transition together.

Join us for a "Tishrei Holiday Season" set of events, including family-friendly prayer services; kid-only activities; and some special Tishrei Kehillah experiences so we can blow the shofar on Rosh  Hashanah; make meaning on  Yom Kippur; sit in the Sukkah and shake our four kinds; and dance with the Torah before we create a memorable Kehillah to start off the first week of the year - Bereshit - in the beginning!
