The evening of October 31 is the most magical night of the year in the neighborhood surrounding the Synagogue. Before the night begins, we’ll celebrate the joy of Shabbat while embracing cultural practices of our neighbors and friends. Come in costume if you’d like, bring your voices and energy, and experience a night where tradition meets creativity. Following services, feel free to join the fun on the streets of Maple Ridge, or enjoy watching the parade of costumes as we pass out candy from the Synagogue’s front steps. All ages are welcome—let’s make this Shabbat a festive, musical, and meaningful gathering you won’t forget!
Halloween in Maple Ridge is truly something special—thousands of children fill the streets around our Synagogue, creating a scene that feels straight out of a movie. This year, after a four-year hiatus, the Costume Closet returns to the steps of Congregation B’nai Emunah on October 29 and 30 from 6:00–8:00 p.m. The project began when Conley Bolusky, then 11 years old, offered one of her own costumes to a child without one, inspiring a community-wide effort to share the joy of the season. In its last year before the pandemic, nearly 500 costumes were given away, and we’re thrilled to bring the tradition back, stronger than ever. Donations of new or gently used costumes can be dropped off at the Synagogue, and volunteers are welcome to help with setup and distribution—contact Richie Bolusky to get involved.

Too often, we only think about Jewish lifecycle events when they arrive at our doorstep. Behind the Lifecycle is a new series designed to take a step back and explore these moments before we encounter them in real time. Each session will focus on a different stage of life, weaving together traditional sources, contemporary practice, and practical guidance to help us make thoughtful, informed choices.
Our first session turns to one of the most difficult and meaningful topics: death and dying. Together, we’ll learn about Jewish burial and cemetery traditions, uncovering how our rituals work, what values they express, and what options exist for us today. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and a willingness to explore what lies behind this essential part of Jewish life.
Every Saturday at 9:30 a.m., we celebrate Shabbat through song, Torah study, and fellowship. These services, available both in-person and via Zoom, offer a chance to mark anniversaries, celebrate milestones, and engage in our congregation's ritual life.

Sarah Silverman, the stand-up comedian, has a sister who is a rabbi and she makes fun of her parents. What could be more Jewish than that?
Her new concert film, PostMortem, brings together both of these preoccupations in a meditation on the death of her father. The film is crass and loving, reverential and sarcastic in ways that define Silverman’s comedy. If you liked her appeal to Florida Jewish baubies during the last presidential election, there’s a good chance that PostMortem is the film for you. Spoiler alert: Silverman talks a lot about sex.
Our conversation about the film will take place on Thursday, October 16 at 7:00 p.m. The film is available on Netflix and should be no trouble to locate even if you are not a current subscriber. If you have any difficulty singing on, please contact Richie Bolusky at rbolusky@bnaiemunah.com.
