CBI STORIES

A Special Interactive Program for Teens & Seniors

Program starts this Monday, November 11!

We are proud to announce that CBI has received a special grant to launch CBI
Stories -- a collection of moments in history from CBI's older adults,
captured by teens and shared via Instagram through a combination of
interview footage and scripted reenactments. We are now seeking teens and
seniors for this unique l'dor vador project. Teens will learn about
effective visual story-telling while creating a personal bond - and working
on a project that makes a great college essay! Seniors have the opportunity
to learn new technology while connecting with our CBI teens in a whole new
way.

To learn more, please contact Rabbi Julie Schwarzwald at 973-379-1134 or
<mailto:RabbiJulie at cbi-nj.org> RabbiJulie at cbi-nj.org. 

CBI Walking Group
Interested in a weekly walking group?
Join Rabbi Resnick and CBI members for this informal and fun opportunity to
walk and talk. It’s a “moving” community and a great way to engage with CBI
friends!
Date, location and length of walk will be based on participant’s interests
and may vary week to week. There may even be a surprise guest periodically!

Please contact Rabbi Resnick at  <mailto:rabbiresnick at cbi-nj.org>
rabbiresnick at cbi-nj.org if interested.

The Art of the Nigun

THIS Sunday, November 10 at 5:00 p.m. in the Chapel

This special edition of the chanting circle is going wordless! What is a
nigun if not a chant without words? Like chant, the nigun is powerful
centuries-old way of accessing a spiritual sensibility not otherwise readily
available to us. While our niguns will be contemporary, what they bring out
is timeless!

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.
