Shabbat Morning Service
Join us on Shabbat morning as we celebrate Shabbat with prayer, song, and poetry. We'll hear some words of Torah (and some words about Torah) as we bask in Shabbat's sweetness. Our spiritual tools include traditional liturgy, contemporary poetry, chant, and song… as well as the spectacular views from our sanctuary, which connect us with the natural world and with our Source.

Our next meeting of the CBI Book Club will take place over Zoom on Thursday, January 29 (NEW DATE!) at 7:30pm (EST). Kantika ("song" in Ladino) was inspired by the life story of her maternal grandmother Rebecca Cohen, daughter of the Sephardic elite of early twentieth-century Istanbul, whose shapeshifting journey took her to Cuba, Spain and New York. Come talk about Kantika with author Elizabeth Graver and her mother, Suzanne Levy Graver, who leads CBI's book club and whose childhood is part of this story. This online event is free and open to the public.
