BPJC Outreach
Saturday, October 29th, 2011 | Author:

The BPJC Board is always looking for ways to support Jews living outside of South East Queensland. We provide a range of information through our website and Facebook page and welcome any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

Our members regularly travel within the state and would love to drop in for a chat while in your location. Please contact us if you would like to register for this program.

Regrettably, the Awcast option for the broadcast of services is not currently available. Awcast recently started charging a substantial monthly fee and the Board will need to consider if offering Awcast will be possible in future. If you have used the Awcast service regularly, please let us know as it would help our discussions if we knew how much demand there is.

If you live in or near Toowoomba, we are pleased to advise that under the auspices of BPJC, a Toowoomba Progressive Jewish kehillah has been established. The group had its first service on Shabbat 29 October 2011 and is planning continued activities. Please contact the BPJC Secretary  for further information.

Our Shabbat services use Mishkan T’filah. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a copy to follow the service.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
