Coming Events

Joint Temple Beth-El and Congregation B’nai Jacob

“ROUND THE TABLES” SHABBAT

with TU BiSHEVAT SEDER

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10th   8 pm

at Temple Beth-El

2419 Kennedy Blvd., Jersey City

Think seders are only for Passover?  Think again!

We’re having a TU BiSHEVAT SEDER!

    Tu BiShevat (literally the 15th day of the month of Shevat) celebrates the birthday of the trees – in modern times connected with rejoicing in nature and environmental awareness.

    Since we are doubling the fun with two holidays in one, we are combining two congregations – Temple Beth-El and Congregation B’nai Jacob for this wonderful evening. Our seder poems and songs will be interspersed with our Shabbat prayers and songs, all led by Rabbi Hachen of Temple Beth-El and Cantor Dubrow of Congregation B’nai Jacob.

    What would a seder be without food?  The foods for a Tu BiShevat Seder are naturally the fruits of the trees.  Come prepared to sip grape juice, munch on olives, peel an orange, chew on dates, and pop a raisin or two along the way. 

Open to the community.  All ages welcome.  Come and Enjoy!
