Through personal narratives, thought-provoking book talks, films, lectures, and cultural gatherings, Congregation B’nai Israel’s Special Programs bring our community together through stories, music, culture, and conversation. From inspiring lectures and book talks to films and cultural events, each gathering offers meaningful opportunities to learn, reflect, and celebrate Jewish life.
Lunch & Learns are an opportunity to enjoy community, conversation, and learning over a light lunch with our Rabbis and guest educators. Covering themes from Jewish law and spiritual practice to heritage, contemporary Israel, and questions of faith, each session offers insights you can carry into daily life.
Lunch & Learns range from one-time sessions to multi-class series.
