Yom Kippur Appeal
Yom Kippur is the culmination of another year of study, prayer & meaningful social & chessed activity at BDJ. It is the day for increasing our commitment to the shul that has made all of this possible & ensuring that we will be strong in the year ahead. We thank you in advance for your generosity & support of our BDJ community. Click here to donate.

Click here to order a Lulav/Etrog set that was grown in the Gaza Periphery. Pickup is at 9031 Pico Blvd (not BDJ). Prices and pickup days and times are listed on the landing page.
Provide Arba Minim to IDF soldiers
Bring joy to an IDF soldier by providing them with their arba minim (lulav and etrog set).
For many years the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have supplied their active duty and reserve duty soldiers with sets of Arba minim. There are never enough sets to accommodate the number of soldiers interested in fulfilling this mitzvah. However, this year, due to the ongoing war in Israel, there are even more soldiers (both active and reservists) who are in need of Arba minim.
