Events

Please join us for our annual Erev Rosh Hashanah service, co-led by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat and cantorial soloist Ziva Larson with support from CBI musicians and choir. Expect poetry, prayer, harmony, melodies both traditional and contemporary, and an introduction to this year’s high holiday theme. All are welcome! (Please note that onsite parking for this service will be limited.)

Join us for a creative/interpretive Four Worlds service featuring silent meditation, song/chant, and Torah study. There will be minimal liturgy at this service as we focus on entering the new year experientially in body, heart, mind, and spirit. Blowing of the Shofar and Tashlich will follow. All are welcome!

Join us for a contemplative, chant-based service led by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat. On this “Shabbat of Return” between the two holidays, our service will feature an even more stripped-down liturgy and a lot of opportunity for sacred silence. All are welcome!

Join us for Kol Nidre evening service, co-led by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat and cantorial soloist Ziva Larson, with support from the CBI choir and community musicians. Please plan to arrive by 5:50pm, as our service will begin promptly at 6pm so that the singing of Kol Nidre takes place before sundown. All are welcome! (Please note that onsite parking for this service will be limited.)

Join us as we delve into re-living ancient rituals, hearing the Yom Kippur afternoon Torah reading and its powerful themes of loving our neighbor as we love ourselves, and experiencing the Book of Jonah in a creative new way. All are welcome!

Our final service of the day will take place in the small sanctuary with lights turned off so we can feel the increasing urgency of our prayers as the sky begins to dim. There will be an opportunity for each of us to stand before the open Ark and whisper whatever we most need to say. All are welcome!

Please join Rabbi Pam Wax for our annual Shemini Atzeret service, where we'll share the prayers of the morning service, including the praise-songs of Hallel. We'll also offer the Yizkor memorial prayers that we recite in memory of our dead four times a year. All are welcome!
