Lifelong Learning

At CBS, we appreciate that the process of Jewish learning is never over, and the rewards of continued Jewish study are even greater when we are committed to learning for learning’s sake. It's never too late, nor too early to deepen our Jewish knowledge.

Rabbis Weizman and Upbin, along with a great many of our very own knowledgeable and committed CBS members, as well as guest educators, offer a vast array of engaging adult educational opportunities throughout the year. Through these skilled educators, we are committed to providing educational and cultural learning experiences for our congregants and the community at large.

Adult Education Opportunities

Talmud Torah Study led by Dr Priscilla Nathanson
Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm via Zoom.
The study of Talmud is a major focus of Jewish learning. Talmud is a bit like stepping into the sea: you swim or bathe
wherever you are and at whatever pace that suits. Come on in, the water’s great!
Here is the opportunity for an evening dip into the sea of Talmud. We will be learning Berachot, the first tractate of the 60-tractate Talmud, mainly about the development of the Amidah and other well-known prayers (but dealing also with every other subject you can think of).
No previous knowledge of Talmud or of Hebrew is necessary. WARNING: Talmud can become addictive.

Rosh Chodesh 2.0 - LADIES NIGHT!
Dates Vary - Click HERE to check the CBS Calendar for Upcoming Dates!

A sacred space for women to maximize our best "sense of self", drawing inspiration from health and wellness practices, creativity, and spirituality. Each month, we gather to learn from local experts through workshops, presentations and hands-on projects.

What does "Rosh Chodesh” mean? It is Hebrew for “Head of the Month”, a sacred occasion celebrated at the beginning of every new month on the Hebrew calendar. Rosh Chodesh through the ages has come to be known as a special time for women to gather, relax and celebrate as we reset our intentions for renewed strength and energy in the month ahead.

Rosh Chodesh 2.0 is led by Rabbi Danielle Upbin and it is open to Jewish and non-Jewish identified women. Meetings are on the Third Wednesday of the month. Check the CBS Calendar for exact dates, times, and registration
