Why Bnai Chai?

 

·         Warm, inviting, welcoming community?  

·         Very reasonable dues? 

·         No building fund?

·         "You will experience our rabbi,  who is familiar with all the denominational traditions, is learned and worldly, a great teacher, a wonderful storyteller, and most of all, he is a mensch." 

·         Services that are between traditional Reform and liberal Conservative in style, but not affiliated with any particular group? We also offer classes that examine traditions and how it applies to today

·         Fun outings

·          

 Looking for a Jewish community that is “just right”? Check out our Bnai Chai havurah. It’s our Chicagoland fellowship for Jews who meet regularly for Shabbat and holiday services, Jewish learning and social events. We are friends in a group that is more than a casual club but not a formal congregation. We don’t have or need a building or fancy facility. We are able to organize and support our activities easily at a very low cost.

We welcome members from any background. Our services are short, melodious and lively, traditional and modern, mixed Hebrew and English, rabbi-led with member participation. We are very lucky to have as our rabbi, Jonathan Ginsburg, who is familiar with all the denominational traditions, is learned and worldly, a great teacher, a wonderful storyteller and most of all, he is a mensch. Find out more and join us for a Shabbat service (now unfortunately just virtual).

   Try us out! Please join us for many of the festive, joyful, lively outings, with warmhearted people.
