Parents, We are now accepting enrollment in the Congregation Bene Shalom's, Religious School - A unique program for pre-school through post Bnai Mitzvah students where children learn to communicate with God in Hebrew, in sign language and through meditation

JOIN JEWISH THREADS - Our major goal to complete for the High Holy Days. The synagogue has received a gift from a family of a beautiful navy velvet curtain that graces our ark. It was made in Israel and is embroidered with Hebrew words and a tree. However this piece cannot be used for the High Holy Days due to its color. It is imperative that we create a beautiful white curtain to grace our ark for the holiest days of the year. The next meeting will be on Sunday, June 3rd at 1 p.m. at CBS. Please come to discuss the magnificent project, bring ideas, fabric, threads and anything else you imagine could be used for the curtain. If you have any questions regarding the project e-mail Jane Rosenblum at jane.rosenblum@yahoo.com. Our goal is to create a fitting curtain to fill our ark for the High Holy Days. You don't have to have sewing experience to come to the meeting. I look forward to seeing you on the first Sunday in June..
