High Holiday Food Drive

Collections through October11

This year’s High Holiday Food Drive is being coordinated by the Men’s Club
as part of CBI’s AAA Hunger Response Program –Achlu Avyonei Ameicha, meaning
"the poor of your nation shall eat." We are collecting non-perishable food
items to benefit two of the AAA Programs: 

The Bobrow Kosher Food Pantry and The Interfaith Food Pantry of the Oranges.

Examples of items to donate (Kosher and non-Kosher) can be found
<https://cbi-nj.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/High-Holiday-AAA-Food-Drive-2

Food donations can be dropped off in the bins at CBI in the school wing and
near the front office.

Yom Kippur Chanting Circle

Sunday, October 6 at 5:00 p.m. in the Chapel

‘Pre-prayer’ for Yom Kippur at our inspirational chant and song circle with
musical accompaniment.

We focus on key verses from the Day of Atonement liturgy, exploring their
meaning.

We then sing the text as we join together with our voices in simple yet
compelling, melody and rhythm.

The intention of chanting is to awaken the divine in our hearts. It can
soothe the mind and at the very least is simply fun to do! No prior
knowledge of Hebrew or singing ability necessary 
 only a willingness to
join in spiritual community.

Our 9th Year Begins!
