Meet Siddur Lev Shalem - A New Spiritual Experience
2026-02-25 19:30 | Congregation B’nai Tikvah, 1001 Finnegans Lane, North Brunswick, NJ, 08902, United States
Meet Siddur Lev Shalem – A New Spiritual Experience…Insights into prayer, understanding, and navigating our new Lev Shalem Siddur.
Why Are We Changing Our Siddurim?
Our new Siddur Lev Shalem is a more accessible prayer book that offers additional explanations, expanded transliteration, and fresh perspectives on our traditional prayers. By deepening our engagement with prayer, we enrich ourselves as individuals and grow together as a sacred community.
Please join us on Wednesday at 7:30 PM for an evening of discovery as we meet and learn with Rabbi Rob Scheinberg, Ph.D., a scholar of Jewish liturgy who served on the editorial committees for prayer books for Conservative Judaism, including our new Siddur Lev Shalem. Rabbi Scheinberg teaches at JTS as well as at the Academy of Jewish Religion.
Following his presentation, please stay for a meet-and-greet with Rabbi Scheinberg. Refreshments will be served.
Siddurim will be available for purchase—for those who wish to dedicate a copy for use in our sanctuary, as well as for those who would like to purchase one for home use.

Rabbi Wolkoff's Monroe Lecture

Monroe Monthly Minyan
2026-02-17 19:00 | Congregation B’nai Tikvah, 1001 Finnegans Lane, North Brunswick, NJ, 08902, United States
Welcome to our monthly minyan in Monroe! This does NOT take the place of our weeknight minyan in the synagogue. But, we recognize that, for some, it is a far drive to come to North Brunswick from Monroe, so it is our hope that monthly minyan will help support and provide community and outreach to our Monroe members.
Services will begin at 7pm, and will take place at Jewish Family Services, located at 1600 Perrineville Road, Suite 26 (Stop & Shop Shopping Center).
For those of you concerned that it is not the exact date of a yahrzeit, please come and say Kaddish in Monroe anyway, and support others who are saying Kaddish!
Questions? Concerns? Suggestion/Comments? Contact Bobbi Binder, via the synagogue office.
