Death in Jewish Tradition and Lore with Len Hausman

Monday Mornings starting November 13th // 9:30 am // Zoom

There is no more uncomfortable subject than death, even more so in these
times. Rituals and practices around death are a window into a culture's
beliefs and views not just of death, but also of life. They can be viewed as
psychological defense mechanisms to soften the reality of death and pain of
loss for the bereaved. They function as guides to how a community supports
those in grief. While there is no one way to mourn, they offer a roadmap for
those who have lost a loved one.

Exploring what Jewish tradition has to say about death is fascinating. While
our rituals and practices have evolved some over the centuries, their basis
has not. We have centuries-old Halacha - Jewish law - surrounding death, but
there is also a fair dose of folklore and even superstition in the mix. And
surprisingly, a number of our rituals are also seen in the practices of
other cultures.

CBI Sisterhood Rosh Chodesh Program – A Moment of Gratitude

Thursday, November 16th // 6:30 pm // CBI

acknowledge that. But we must also make room for hope and gratitude.

Psalms, prayers, poetry, and classic texts point us toward an attitude of
gratitude. 

Join Rabbi Helaine Ettinger for a Sisterhood Rosh Chodesh program exploring
Jewish texts on gratitude as we draw closer to Thanksgiving.

Dinner will be served @ $15.00 per person.

Thursday, November 16 // 4:30 pm // CBI

Grief has its own timetable. There is no point at which we stop grieving,
rather, over time our grief evolves.
At CBI we are offering a safe and supportive space in which to share our
memories, our challenges, and the wisdom of our experience. The group will
be facilitated by clergy and is open to both members and non- members.
Our topic:
Grief and Household Items: their favorite chair, their side of the bed,
their place at the table, books, mementos, and special photographs. There
are many reminders all around us that both comfort and pain us.
Let's talk!

Bookends With Sisterhood Returns!

Thursday, December 21st // 7:00 pm // CBI

We will be discussing Kantika by Elizabeth Graver.

Elizabeth Graver began writing her fifth novel,
<https://www.amazon.com/Kantika-Novel-Elizabeth-Graver/dp/1250869846>
Kantika, in 2014, but the Turkish Sephardic dressmaker at the heart of the
multi-generational, continent-spanning saga has been with her for a
lifetime. That’s because she was inspired by Graver’s maternal grandmother,
Rebecca (née Cohen) Baruch Levy.

The discussion will be moderated by Sara Sherman and Barbara Ismail.

Questions?  Call or text Barbara Ismail at 973 462 5971

CBI Israel Trip August 2024

We are praying that the war will have ended long before our scheduled trip.

important role in its economy.  There is no better time than now to register
for next summer's trip.  Let's amass an inspiring synagogue delegation and
travel to Israel, to inject much needed funds into the tourism industry, to
show our support to the great citizens of Israel, to volunteer and give of
our time and efforts while we're there.  Don't delay.

This Week’s Message from

The CBI Alliance for Sustainability

"Once you've been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth
is."  Valentina Tereshkova

Use wool or rubber dryer balls to separate your clothes so warm air gets to
them more readily. Dryer balls may also cut static, reducing the need for
dryer sheets. The base for many dryer sheets is polyester, a fabric derived
from oil,  which is then coated with softening compounds. While this might
make fabric feel softer, these compounds can build up on the surface of the
fabric making it less breathable, less water absorbent. In addition there is
concern that these compounds reduce the fire retardant properties of items
such as children's pajamas. Use wool dryer balls instead. They soften
clothing, reduce friction, and may reduce drying time by absorbing some of
the moisture. Because they last for many months, they reduce your waste.
