The Story of the State of Israel Through Its Music
75th Birthday Edition!
Monday Mornings May 1-May 22 // 9:30 am // Zoom
In this 4-session module, we will be celebrating Israel's 75th birthday as we focus on the birth of the State of Israel and its first decade. The War of Independence burst out anew on May 15th  1948, and did not end until March 1949. During the war, the State was securing its foundations and welcoming immigrants, many survivors of the Shoah. We will learn about this first generation of an independent Israel through the music that tells their story.
Each song presented will be accompanied by a commentary that includes the story behind the song. We will review song lyrics in translation as we explore their context and meaning.
We'll be listening mostly to both original and updated versions of these songs, and we'll gain knowledge of leading vocalists and groups - becoming familiar with a 'Who's Who' in the history of Israeli song.

About Discussion Leader Len Hausman:
Len Hausman has had an interest in the music of Israel since his youth. He completed a year of training in Israel toward being a teacher in the diaspora, sponsored by the World Zionist Organization. He has enjoyed teached teaching on a range of subjects at CBI and other venues. Professionally, Len is a psychologist with practices in Greenwich Village, New York and locally.

The Kabbalah of Music at the CBI Song and Chant Circle
Sunday, May 7 // 5:00 pm // CBI
Join us in the CBI Sanctuary for our inspirational Hebrew song and chant circle with musical accompaniment, led by Len Hausman.
In Kabbalah there is a practice of using the seven weeks between Passover and Shavu'ot as a time of personal and spiritual renewal. By singing and chanting words from our liturgy and the Zohar favored by the Kabbalists of Safed, we hope to share in this practice.
The intention of our circle is to awaken the divine in our hearts.  Song and chant 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 12th year!

This Week's Tip from...
The CBI Alliance for Sustainability

"Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree that has seed-yielding fruit-to you it shall be for food." Genesis 1:29



Patronize your local farmers' markets where the food you purchase is grown locally and not shipped from thousands of miles away. Since local farmers do not have to concern themselves with longevity and transportation of their produce, they can plant varieties where taste is the priority.  Produce at farmers' markets is picked when ripe and sold to you the next day, so it is tastier and fresher.  Purchasing from a local farmers' market supports New Jersey farmers and local employment. It keeps your money in local communities and helps to ensure that New Jersey remains The Garden State.  The following is a list of local farmers' markets, including their addresses and days/times they are open:



Millburn - June through October, Fridays 8AM-3PM at the corner of Main and Essex

Springfield - July 11 to October 31, Mondays 12PM-6PM, 139 Mountain Ave.

South Orange - June 7-Oct. 26, Wednesdays, 2PM-7PM in the Sloan St. parking lot

Maplewood - June 5 through November 20, Mondays, 2PM-7PM, 1866 Springfield Ave. at Yale Corner

Summit - April 23-November 19, Sundays 8AM-1PM, 22 Deforest Ave.

Chatham - June 17- Nov. 18, Saturdays 8AM-1PM, Railroad Plaza

Madison - beginning May 25, Thursdays 1-6PM. Dodge Field, 49 Central Ave.

Union - June 1-Oct. 26, Thursdays 1-7PM, 1300 Winslow Ave.

CBI Alliance for Sustainability

In response to the increasing challenges facing the environment, it's time for CBI to do its part to preserve and protect the natural world. We'll be focusing on environmental sustainability through a Jewish lens, exploring how essential Jewish teachings can inform our pursuit of a healthy and just world. We hope to involve all members of the CBI community from preschoolers to seniors. We'll be evaluating what we can do as a community and as individuals to integrate a commitment to sustainability into our lives, in order to be true partners in the ongoing work of Tikkun Olam. We invite you to be part of it!

For more information contact Henry Bloom at hdbloom at hotmail.com<mailto:hdbloom at hotmail.com>

Caring Committee of CBI
Please, let us know...
Do you know of someone in our CBI Community who is celebrating a simcha,
gave birth to a child or grandchild, is ill, has been hospitalized or suffered the loss of a loved one? The easiest way to let the clergy and staff know is to email: lscaregiver48 at gmail.com<mailto:lscaregiver48 at gmail.com> or call the office. (This one e-dress notifies the clergy, main office and Caring Committee.)
We thank our amazing Sisterhood volunteers who coordinate all of these efforts!
