Participation in communal prayer is integral to Jewish spirituality. At Congregation Beth Israel, one can explore diverse settings in which to seek a spiritual home.
Bring your enthusiasm and openness and be ready to give voice in hearty, prayerful song at Kabbalat Shabbat, welcoming the Day of Rest for our bodies and our souls.
Once a month, Family Services geared to families with grade school-age children are held, followed by a dairy/parve potluck dinner. Tot Shabbat services are offered regularly.
On Shabbat morning, one can expect spirited traditional davenning (chanted prayer, mostly in Hebrew). There are ample ways to expand one's synagogue skills by learning how to lead sections of the service, chanting a Haftarah or sections of the Torah, or delivering a D'var Torah (an address on a topic found in the Torah portion, Haftarah or a seasonal theme). Occasionally, classes will be offered to help those who wish to improve their understanding of Jewish liturgy. A companion booklet to the prayerbook, A Guide to Shabbat Morning Worship, is available for anyone who would like transliterations of Hebrew prayers or commentary on the liturgy.
Of course, communal worship is celebrated for all of the Jewish holidays.
Please see the CBI Calendar for service times.
Hosting an Oneg (Friday) or Kiddush (Saturday) at CBI is a mitzvah for our community, and a wonderful way to celebrate special events such as birthdays, engagements/weddings, B'nei Mitzvah and other landmark moments. If you would like to participate in this mitzvah, please contact us.
