Come and bring the family to string apples, arrange colorful pumpkins and squash, and add to the bema’s beauty with seasonal flowers. Decoration of the sukkah and Sanctuary bema will take place on Thursday, September 20, 10 am-8 pm, and Friday, September 21, 10 am-2 pm. INFO: Marcia Rosenblatt, twinmar@gmail.com.

BHC 6th-7th graders will participate in a retreat to build leadership skills and community.

Our regular 10 AM Shabbat morning service is welcoming and meaningful to both those who come regularly and those who attend for the first time. Shabbat Shelanu means Our Shabbat, and we endeavor to celebrate Shabbat together with communal reading, engaging melodies, and embracing one another. The weekly Torah portion is both chanted and discussed at this service.

BlueWater Baltimore is sponsoring a free tree giveaway on BHC’s parking lot. The free trees are native species that will be in two- and three-gallon pots. Families can take up to 5 “canopy” trees and one smaller “understory” variety. The fall season is excellent for planting deciduous trees. Representatives from BlueWater Baltimore will be on site to consult regarding which trees to choose and how to plant. Trees in an urban and suburban setting create shade, habitat for birds and wildlife, and collectively reduce the urban heat load, making our city more livable. This event is open to all. INFO: click here
