A message from Rabbi Urecki
Dear Congregants,
This Shabbat, our congregation will host student rabbi Claire Bruder. B'nai Jacob Synagogue is participating in the Jewish Theological Seminary's Ambassador Initiative, a chance for Conservative rabbinic students to experience Jewish life in communities around the country and for congregations to learn from a new generation of Conservative rabbis.
Claire will be our guest on Friday Night during our casual Shabbat Dinner which begins at 6PM ( she will study with our students at 5:00 PM) and deliver the sermon on Shabbat morning. Her bio is below and we ask that you RSVP for our casual dinner by Wednesday.
We join our brothers and sisters at Temple Israel in mourning the passing of Marion Baer. Marion was a treasured member of the Temple and a source of inspiration for us all. Her support and dedication to causes near and far brought honor to our Jewish community and we will all miss this special lady. We are honored to join the Temple in a shiva minyan in her honor this Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 PM. Details below.
We have a robust schedule, and we hope you can join us all week.
Shabbat v'Avaha,
-Rabbi Victor Urecki

Please join us & welcome student rabbi Claire Bruder Davidson

WONDERING JEWS
Introducing: Wondering Jews
The One Stop For All Things Jewish in West Virginia
Wondering Jews, Inc. is a nonprofit organization with the goal of connecting people who are
physically or geographically challenged with the wide variety of educational, service,
and faith activities in the local West Virginia Jewish congregations.
Moe and Janie Rubenstein have created a unique website which will allow all congregations and Jewish organizations who wish to announce activities and programs of interest for Jews throughout West Virginia.
We have seen at B'nai Jacob how Zoom has opened the door to those who are challenged to allow people
in isolation to join and be a part of our B'nai Jacob family.
I am proud to announce that the website is now live and will offer us
and Jews around our state an opportunity to further connect and be together.
You can even sign up for the American Jewish Committee program on that platform as well.
Check out Wondering Jews in the months to come and in the words of the Machzor (High Holiday Prayerbook),
may we all be bound together, connected to each other.
