2010 High Holidays
Services schedule is now available
Be sure to return Seating Request Form as soon as possible

The High Holidays are approaching and our B'nai Torah family looks forward to ushering in the New Year Together.  This year, rather than holding two adult services, we will be holding a single adult service for the entire congregation at Deerfield High School.

 
  • All adult services for Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur serices will take place at Deerfield High School.
  • All Family Services will be held at the Rabbi Sholom A. Singer Sanctuary at Oak Street.
The 2010 services schedule is now available and member packages have already been mailed.  If you have any questions or are a nonmember interested in attending High Holiday services, please call the B'nai Torah office at 847-433-7100.
 
 
 

B'nai Torah In Action

  • Cantor Lynda, Rabbi Debbie and Rabbi Michael spend a few minutes on the BT campus overlooking Lake Michigan.

  • BT Religious School students and their families celebrate successfully completing the 2009 - 2010 school year.
  •  
    Rabbi Nesselson was one of 15 rabbis from across the country -- Reform, Conservative and Orthodox -- who met on April 20 and on May 13 at the White House with Rahm Emanuel and Dennis Ross, who presently serves as a special adviser to President Obama and handles Iran policy at the National Security Council. Rabbi Jack Moline, Rahm Emanuel’s rabbi in Washington DC, facilitated the two 90 minute meetings.

  • Good friends Carol (left) and Ashley are frequently found on the BT campus sharing fashion ideas and the latest BT news.
  •  
    The 2010 Men's Club golf outing held at Midlane Golf Resort proved to be another great outing.  

    At the end of the day there was one hit goose, a broken window and a ton of laughs. 

    BT's Danny Wilk has produced what is sure to be an Oscar nominated film featuring the golf outing. Be sure to check it out and see the golf skill's of BT members that have been hidden until now.

  • The economic realities challenging Jews in Tzfat, Israel was discussed at BT by the directors of Lev U’Neshama, Yaffa and Moshe Smolensky. They explained a third of the cities Jewish population is on welfare, which includes more than 800 children who don’t know where their next meal is coming from or have shoes to wear for school.
     
    The mission of Lev U’Neshama is an important one and they need our support. Please visit their website and consider making a donation. 100 percent of funds collected go to cloth and feed the residents of Tzfat.
  •  
    Taking advantage of this summer's beautiful weather, Rabbi Debbie, Rabbi Michael and Cantor Lynda lead a casual Shabbat service under the stars.  The evening started with an Israeli style dinner.
