Membership

We hope you will consider joining our synagogue family! We'd love to meet you and show you first-hand what makes our close-knit community so special and inclusive. We truly believe that everyone, regardless of background or ability, can find a home at CBI.

The best way to get to know us is to visit. Come to a Shabbat service any Friday night or Saturday morning and stay for the Oneg or Kiddush afterwards, or attend one of our educational or social events open to the community. Our professionals and lay leaders would be happy to assist and welcome you at any time.

Please note that we do not require synagogue membership for children to attend our Religious School for programs through 2nd grade.  This is a great option for families who are still deciding whether CBI membership is right for them.  Alternatively, families with children below 3rd grade can take advantage of joining CBI at a reduced Young Family rate and can enjoy full benefits of synagogue membership, including High Holiday tickets.  (Religious School for children in 3rd grade or above requires a Family Membership.)
