The next “Meet My Religious Neighbor” open house will be held on Friday, April 13, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Temple B’nai Jeshurun, located at 5101 Grand Ave. in Des Moines.

This open house is a Friday night Shabbat (Sabbath) service at Des Moines’ Reform Jewish Temple, Temple B’nai Jeshurun.  The service lasts for approximately one hour, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Prior to that, there will be a wine and cheese reception as well as an orientation session for first-time visitors. Afterward, there is an opportunity to socialize and meet members of the congregation.

Please dress and behave in a respectful manner. Men and women may wear a kippah/yarmulke (provided by the Temple) if they would like. For more information, contact Tim Knepper at tim.knepper@drake.edu.

Meet My Religious Neighbor is a monthly open house series. Each open house allows the public the opportunity to tour a sacred space, learn how religion is practiced in it, and meet the congregation who worships there.
