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
These past few months, a number of special projects have been underway as part of our 40th Anniversary celebrations. These projects provide opportunities for us to explore and share the story of Congregation B’nai Shalom. By now, you will have seen the display in our temple lobby, or clicked the link in an email communication, to take you to the 40th Anniversary Digital Archive Project.
Did you ever hear someone say, “The winters aren’t the same as when I was a kid…”? Perhaps you have. Well, I think these people are right, because everything changes, particularly the way in which we view our surroundings. Today, winter is, for the most part, just another season. It seems that no matter what the conditions, life will go on as usual, and we will continue to make plans as usual.
A Message from RobI have the great opportunity in my role as President to speak with many members of the B’nai Shalom community. When I speak to members who are either founders or who have been with us for over twenty years, it is always an opportunity for me to understand who we were when it all began and how we have evolved. When I speak to newer members of the congregation it helps me to reflect on who we are now and what we need to do to plan for our future. All of these conversations have led me to the conclusion that, amazingly, Congregation B’nai Shalom has reached its 40th year with our vigor, energy, and enthusiasm intact.
