Shabbat morning Torah study is usually held one Shabbat morning a month in the Benjamin Social Hall. No Hebrew or experience is necessary, just a desire to delve into Judaism's source text and see what we can learn that's relevant for today. Check the calendar to see when we’re gathering this month. Bring your favorite Torah translation if you wish, or we’ll provide books.

The CBS Book Club has been in existence since 2000 and currently has about 10 members. We meet every 6-8 weeks at a different member's home to discuss a book that we have chosen together. The book must meet two criteria: It must have some (however indirect) Jewish content, and it must have fewer than 300 (or so) pages. We read both fiction and non-fiction. We can always use a few more members. We welcome diverse viewpoints. Contact the Office by e-mail or at 272-8872 x64 for more information.
