Jewish learning is all about Jewish living, and Jewish living is built around the family.  Helping our families live Jewishly and connecting our families to one another is one of the most important things we do in our youth learning and engagement work.  We host family Shabbat dinners every month, when families gather for dinner together with Shabbat blessings, attend congregational Shabbat services together, and then finish the evening with a dessert oneg and lots of time for relaxed conversation.  RS BML Families is our parent group that organizes opportunities for families to gather outside of the synagogue, and supports the school with volunteering and providing feedback to the Director of Youth Learning and Engagement.  To become involved in this work, contact rsbmlparents@gmail.com.
