Centennial SIMCHA
Thursday, June 4, 2026 • 19 Sivan 5786
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Mark your calendars for an evening of delicious food and drinks, lively music and dancing, and inspiring moments that will capture the impact and spirit of 100 incredible years of B’nai Israel.
What is the Simcha?
Simcha in Hebrew means “joy” or “happiness” and is often used to describe a joyous event. Our event on June 4th will be a wonderful celebration of community, purpose, and the incredible joy that comes from giving and building together for the past 100 years. A simcha is a moment filled with gratitude, connection, and shared meaning — and that’s exactly what the evening will represent. We will gather not only to honor our accomplishments, but also to rejoice in the spirit that unites us and the impact those who came before us have created and the impact we continue to create together.
A heartfelt thank-you to our dedicated Simcha Committee, whose vision and hard work are bringing this unforgettable evening to life.
The Simcha will begin at 7:00 PM. Tickets will go on sale this spring. The initial ticket price will be $100. (Late registrations will cost more.) We can’t wait to celebrate this extraordinary milestone with you!
