The Center of Jewish Life in Northeast Louisiana
|
Congregation B'nai Israel, fondly known as the "the Temple", is located in Monroe, Louisiana which is on the banks of the Ouachita River and Bayou DeSiard.
The Temple is truly a congregation of volunteers, who put in countless hours because of their love for Judaism and their desire for a strong Jewish community, committed to the values and conduct of the individual, the family and the society in which we live. As members of the URJ, we extend a warm welcome to all who are seeking a Jewish community built on the fundamental and enduring principles of Reform Judaism. |

HAMANTASCHEN BAKING
Hamanstaschen is a traditional pastry eaten at the festival of Purim, one of the most entertaining Jewish holidays. Purim commemorates the time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination by the courage of a young Jewish woman called Esther. Would you like to learn how to make hamantaschen? Come join us on Saturday, March 14, 2020 between 2 and 4 pm where the Temple B’nai Israel kitchen will be open for Hamantaschen baking. Rabbi Judy Ginsburgh will be bringing her secret recipe. This event is free and open to the entire community….so feel free to bring a friend (or two). You may want to bring an apron if you want to stay clean. Also, if you want to bring some of your own hamantaschen dough or filling to share, feel free. Hope you will join us.
