Summary |
We had a wonderful celebration of Tu B'Shevat, the New Year of the Trees, at BCRC on Friday, January 18. The evening began with a Tot Shabbat led by our 1st graders. Following that, we had a special Tu B'Shevat oneg/preneg featuring the traditional foods of the holiday. There was: Briyah, signifying creation - soft foods, edible throughout, like berries; Asiyah, or 'doing', with a tough outer shell and edible inside, such as the pomegranate; Yetzirah, or 'formation', with a soft outer shell and a hard pit inside, like a peach; and Atzilut, the realm of divinity, signified by foods with a sweet smell such as cinnamon. Thanks to our Worship Committee for putting together such a great oneg/preneg! Finally, Rabbi Amy and Stacy Kafka finished up the festivities by leading the congregants in the tree song (and dance). What would Tu B'Shevat be without it? Click here to see more photos of our celebration (must be logged in for privacy).

UAA Questionnaire to Candidates
United Against Antisemitism (UAA), a grass roots organization based in the Washington D.C. area, created a questionnaire on how candidates seeking to run in our Congressional District, and for the US Senate seat for Virginia would respond to the rise of antisemitism we are witnessing.
This is a non-partisan effort, and the questionnaire was sent to all candidates (Democrats and Republicans) running in the primaries for the 10th Congressional District, the seat currently held by Jennifer Wexton who is not running for re-election. Please click here to read full information and to see the responses.
