We are very excited to announce that our Safran Hall Rededication Event / Cocktail Party and Silent Auction is going to feature LIVE MUSIC from Singer/Guitarist Ross Griswold! Ross Griswold is a singer and guitarist based in North Plainfield, New Jersey. When not playing with area band Root Glen, Ross does acoustic shows at venues all over northern Jersey. His resonant voice and precise guitar work allow him to do justice to a wide range of songs, from popular standards to "diamond in the rough" songs that listeners rarely get a chance to hear live. You can listen to some of his songs on his website! His FACEBOOK page has more information about his style and[...]

As you may have heard, Beth Mordecai is hosting a rededication of Safran Hall, our recently-remodeled social hall, on June 7. The hall is named after Rachel Wolff Safran, whose family is intimately intertwined with our congregation’s history. Rabbi Ari Saks had the opportunity to speak with her grandson, Henry Safran, and granddaughter, Susan Hermanos, about their family’s legacy in Perth Amboy.
We hope that you will join us in celebrating the facelift of our amazing hall, named after an amazing woman and amazing family.

Perth Amboy has such fascinating Jewish history. Families played, worked, and went to school together. They celebrated life’s ups and downs together. While the lifestyle of late nineteenth century to mid-20th century Judaism cannot be replicated,

We are so excited to announce the rededication of Beth Mordecai’s Safran Hall on June 7!
The afternoon will be filled with opportunities to celebrate our updated social hall. From raffle prizes and silent auctions to unlimited wine and desserts to high-shelf scotch tastings, the Rededication and Silent Auction is an opportunity to begin building brand-new memories in this newly-renovated space.
The rededication and silent auction commemorates and celebrates a wonderful update to our nearly 90-year-old building: the remodeling of our social hall, named after longtime member Rachel Wolff Safran.

Dear Hevreh,
Tonight we celebrate a unique and (very) American Jewish tradition of Chinese food and a movie on Christmas Eve. While this holiday may not be on the same spiritual level as some of those that have been described in the Bible, the Festive Meal of Chopsticks has inspired it's own Talmud tractate (section), which among other details explains how the extra container of rice is set aside for Elijah the Prophet.
In all seriousness though, tonight's festivities speak to the creative Jewish spirit to forge new traditions and pathways for expressing our Jewishness. It's a simple activity -- dinner and a movie -- but many of our well known rituals (like lighting candles, breaking a[...]

Dear Hevreh,
Well, it's official. Beth Mordecai has successfully invaded Barnes and Noble! In partnership with PJ Library of Middlesex Federation and Barnes and Noble of Menlo Park, we had a wonderful event with crafts, songs, and Hanukkah stories. There were 7-8 families who had their kids take part in the event (for a total of around 10 kids), many of whom are currently unaffiliated. One family is already planning on coming to the Hanukkah party and another expressed great interest in our Hebrew School program called Project Jewish Living. We will be following up with the families in the next couple of days, but most importantly we provided them with a positive Jewish experience that[...]
