A Message from Rabbi Gurevitz
Confronting Hate - Past and Present
This month, lay leaders of our congregation have organized two incredibly important and timely programs for us. Both are open to the wider community (as are almost all of our learning opportunities here at CBS).
What a great start to the new school year and what a terrific opening for our Eitz Chayim program of learning. We certainly “hit the ground running” with so much going on in our school community. I hope your children are sharing good reports about their experience thus far and if not, please contact me. I would love to speak with you either way.
A Message from RobAs we head toward Thanksgiving, with the lights of Hanukkah not far behind, it’s a good time to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. It’s also a good time to think about how we can bring more light into B’nai Shalom and the communities around us.
