BJC is a unique, independent congregation...

	with an atmosphere that supports personal exploration and the development of Jewish Identity
	on the cutting edge of contemporary Jewish practice and thought, maintaining a strong connection to tradition, with an emphasis on spirituality, music, and social action.
	where you will find diverse worship services including the Simchah B’Shabbat all-music service, Tot Shabbat, Meditation Services
	offering innovative education through Religious School (pre-K to Confirmation) and Life-long learning programs.
	serving Jews from traditional and liberal backgrounds, interfaith couples & families.
	welcoming all without regard to gender, race, creed, color, religious background, sexual orientation, or origin.
	we have a permanent home in a shared sacred space -- there's no "building fund" to which members must contribute
