Our PEP classes offer exciting, adult driven conversations focusing on important issues and texts from Jewish tradition. They are a chance for adults to find their own meaning and context for Jewish living while getting to know others in the BHC community. This year we will offer two PEP semesters–a Fall and a Spring. There will be five weeks of two classes each Sunday, running between 9:15 am and 12 pm. (Please note this is a return to more weeks with double sessions each week). New and returning PEP students are encouraged to give it a try. Fall Semester: October 26, November 2, November 9, November 16, November 23 with Rabbi Eden Glaser and Rabbi Debbie Pine

9:15 to 10:30 a.m.  Rabbi Glaser 

Responding to Tragedy through Jewish Stand-Up Comedy

Whether in and after the Holocaust or in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jewish people have used humor as a coping mechanism. Professional comedians, in particular, utilize their medium to discuss the crises of the day. We will laugh and we may cry as we explore the tragicomic on stage. 



10:45 to 12:00 pm  - Rabbi Pine

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart:  Do we believe the prayers that we say?

Our prayerbook provides multiple alternatives to the Hebrew prayers.  Yet, our attention during prayer is often drawn to the traditional versions.  What do we think as individuals? What perspectives have rabbis and scholars brought to our prayers?
