Burquest has full slate
The community will soon kick off a capital campaign.
Ten women came out for the Burquest Jewish Community's first Community
Kitchen Feb.4. Facilitated by Melissa Tapper from the Jewish Family
Service Agency (JFSA), the women cooked, laughed, developed new
friendships, then enjoyed a sit-down lunch together. During tea
and dessert, menu planning for next month's Community Kitchen got
started, in addition to planning for the Seniors Lunch program that
begins in March. Future Burquest Community events include:
A wine-tasting social event Feb. 22. Pre-registration is
required.
A Shabbaton with the White Rock Jewish Community Feb. 28
and March 1. The evening service will include the participation
of Burquest children and the morning service will be led by Rabbi
Yosef Wosk, followed by a potluck lunch. A learning session at 5
p.m. will be led by Rabbi Robert Daum and a catered dinner will
follow. The program will end with Havdalah. Pre-registration is
required.
A capital campaign in March with the goal of raising enough
funds to pay off the mortgage of the Burquest Community Centre.
Wosk, Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver (JCC) executive
director Gerry Zipursky and Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver
executive director Mark Gurvis will speak at the JCC, March 27,
4-7 p.m., at a wine and cheese event sponsored by Wosk.
