Join us over Zoom for a new Tisha b’Av program designed to open our hearts to feeling and prepare our spirits for transformation. We’ll encounter some laments both traditional and contemporary (including selections from Eikha / Lamentations and some new contemporary poems of lament), and then Rabbi Rachel will guide the group in writing our own laments to express what’s on our hearts.
All are welcome as we celebrate Shabbat together with prayer, song, poetry, and heart. Some weeks the CBI choir and musicians will join Rabbi Rachel in leading prayer. Expect music, poetry, Torah teaching, and an opportunity to ritually let go of the week as we move together into sacred time.
Join Rabbi Rachel Barenblat (CBI) and Rabbi David Markus (Congregation Shir Ami) for our third annual joint runway to the High Holy Days to prepare heart and soul for the journey of inner transformation! Sessions will be held via Zoom every Tuesday at 7pm (EDT) from July 28 through September 8. Free for members of CBI & Shir Ami, $120 for non-members.
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.
The CBI Book Club will meet in-person to discuss Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast. In her multi-award-winning first memoir, Chast – a New Yorker cartoonist – brings her signature wit to the universal topic of aging parents while shining a light on one family's endearing peculiarities. Spanning the last several years of their lives and told through four-color cartoons, family photos, documents, and a narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears, Chast's memoir is both heart-wrenching and hilarious.
