CBS recently created a Religious Leadership Needs Committee to gather information and make recommendations about what sort of professional leadership CBS should hire to best serve the religious leadership needs of the community.

Members of the committee will hold a session (with food provided!) on Wednesday, August 6 to hear from congregants and discuss some options being considered by the committee, along with information about the climate for rabbi searches in Reform congregations.

Use the link above to submit questions and comments ahead of the August 6 meeting. We want to hear from you!

 With the hot, dry weather we’ve had lately the gardens at CBS need regular watering to look good.

Please help by taking a turn watering the memorial gardens, which are on each side of the door to the new building.
