We are so excited for our Musical Shabbat with the Shabbatones!

Morning Services on Saturday starting at 9:00 a.m. in the sanctuary, the
Shabbatones will also participate in the following programs at CBI:

 

Saturday Morning, November 16

10:30 a.m. in the MPR // Light Breakfast at 10:15 a.m.

Family Shabbat Service

Our Family Shabbat Service this week will be extra-special as the
Shabbatones will join us for some a cappella singing. Join us for a light
breakfast followed by a vibrant Shabbat service filled with singing and
storytelling. Children take an active part in leading prayers and chanting
Torah. Parents and children will learn and pray together. We will join the
congregation in the sanctuary for the end of the service and enjoy kiddush
and more singing by the Shabbatones!

 

11:00 a.m. in the Chapel

Yaldeinu Service

Our Yaldeinu service is a warm, nurturing, supportive environment for
families with children or young adults with special needs. We have prepared
liturgy and an experience designed to be participatory, joyous, and relaxed.
Beth Giladi, a special needs educator, leads CBI's Yaldeinu program, with
<https://cbi-nj.org/worship/yaldenu/> monthly Shabbat services. We look
forward to the Shabbatones to joining our inclusive service.

 

Be sure to join us at Kiddush 
 for more singing with the Shabbatones!
