Support CBS Friday Night Lights!
Our sanctuary is an amazing space with its simple tranquility, natural light and openness complemented by the bursts of color from the ark doors. However, our ritual moments are a hodgepodge of non-matching, not in great shape ritual items. And, in the sanctuary lobby, underneath a beautiful set of festival quilts that were gifted to us, is a bookshelf in need of replacement. We are also noticeably missing a bin for Kippot, and a rack for our Tallitot.
Help us invest in a set of ritual items, bookshelves and ritual item displays to make the foyer just outside the sanctuary as breathtaking as the sanctuary itself. We are calling the campaign "Friday Night Lights", and you can donate to this effort here.
New for Spring and Summer!

Sign up for one of our Social Groups!
We have lots of groups for people with lots of varied interests. Maybe you’re new to the area… or maybe you already have friends to watch a movie with, but are looking for people to go on day trips or to dinner with. It’s easy to find others with a common interest when you are part of a big community. CBS Social Groups are interest groups where anyone can suggest or plan a gathering and invite others who have expressed similar interests through our CBS social club emails. Check out the list and sign up here!

A Message from Rabbi Gurevitz
Beyond 40 Years - a Glimpse into our future.
Over these past few months, I’ve shared insights gleaned from investigating forty years of our archives, and I’ve sought to articulate some of what we stand for as a congregation today, building on our past. This month, as we arrive at the pinnacle weekend of our year of celebrations, I’d like to take a glimpse into the future.
Our annual Senior Recognition Shabbat Service will be on Friday, May 10, 2019 at 7:30 pm. Every senior who is present will receive a graduation certificate and a special gift from the temple. Please contact Lori in the school office at 508-366- 7191 and let her know that your graduate and your family can join us for the service. Seniors must RSVP so that we may prepare the gifts and the certificates for the graduates.
A Message from RobThe purpose of my Monthly Connections article this month is to look for volunteers to help ensure the future of a great tradition at Congregation B’nai Shalom. I am certain everyone has attended Shabbat Services on Friday night. The Friday Oneg is part of the fabric of our congregation, and the energy in the room during our Oneg is not easily replaceable.
