EBJC Casino Night 2010

EBJC Casino Night Hits the Jackpot!

Despite the snow, The East Brunswick Jewish Center held its first ever Casino Night fundraiser on Sat. Feb 6th and it was a huge success! Congregants and community neighbors joined in the festivities. Well over 200 people showed up to support the synagogue in its efforts to help meet their financial commitments. Attendees of the event were treated to an evening of Vegas-style table games such as roulette, blackjack and of course a poker tournament, with professional dealers. In addition to the games, food was catered and music was supplied by DJs. Thousands of dollars of prizes were available for the winners. As a non-profit organization, the synagogue relies heavily on fundraising efforts. The generous efforts of their volunteers and sponsors help make a difference in all their activities. Many community friends as well as synagogue congregants came out in the poor weather to help support the synagogue meet its operating and long-range financial commitments. A Big Thank You goes to Gary Moss and Lauren Altman and all the volunteers and sponsors who made the event fantastic!

Genesis-Science Lectures

TOPIC: In the beginning—Genesis vs. Science

Presented on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. in the LIBRARY by Judah Landa based in part on his book titled, “In the Beginning Of, A New Look at Old Words.” Copies of the book will be available for purchase at each lecture and may be borrowed from the library. Copies can also be bought via the link to the left. As Amazon.Com affiliates EBJC earns up to 10% of each purchase when going thru the link from our web site. The text of the Torah and the findings of modern science will be compared as they pertain to creation, evolution, the age of the earth, the flood, the exodus, and much more. Careful analysis of various criticisms of the Hebrew Bible will address such questions as did the Bible condone slavery, command genocide against the Canaanites, and much more.

FAMILY SHABBAT

Introducing…

EBJC’s FAMILY SHABBAT

A family-oriented Shabbat morning the second Saturday of every month.

Tot Shabbat is not just for tots anymore! Due to the overwhelming success of our Tot Shabbat program, we are expanding it to include children through grade school age. From this point forward, the program formerly known as ‘Tot Shabbat’ will be ‘Family Shabbat’. Please join us the second Shabbat of every month to daven, to learn, and most importantly to have fun being Jewish.

Our program format will continue to include three age appropriate Junior Congregation services for children 18-months and up, followed by an invitation to all children to join the congregation in the main sanctuary and participate on the bima for the conclusion of the service.

All suggestions are welcome, and any help is, of course, encouraged as we continue to enhance our programming to meet the needs of all members of our EBJC family.
