The Federation BWA invites you to join our marching unit in the Martin Luther King, Jr. parade on January 19th and in a Peace Bell Ringing Ceremony the evening of the 18th.

BWA welcomes all temple members and friends, Dharma School students, YBA members, PBA students and families to join in as we honor Dr. King, a man who brought awareness and change to our society. We’d love to see you at one or both events!
