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.

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 RobIn March we had two amazing celebrations for our 40th year. On Friday night March 15, we had a very special Shabbat service where we were joined by our founding Rabbi, Debra Hachen. During that service, it was a pleasure to announce that the Board of Directors has bestowed the honorary title of Rabbi Emerita of Congregation B’nai Shalom on Rabbi Hachen for her twenty-four years of service, vision, and leadership to our community.
