About Our Congregation

B'nai Big Bear is a member of the Union for Reform Judaism.  Our members come from a diverse range of Jewish backgrounds, including Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform, as well as Jews who have chosen to convert to Judaism.  We welcome Jews of all traditions and believe that different backgrounds enrich our collective experience.   

Most services and events are held at Miller Park in Fawnskin (click here for directions).  Other events are held at members' homes — check the  newsletter or calendar for locations and times.
