Lulav & Etrog Orders
As always, we encourage you to purchase your Lulav & Etrog orders through CBS. This year, the deadline is October 6th, 2024. Regular sets cost $60 per set, Mehudar sets include a larger, fancier etrog for $80, and this year, we also have an even more Mehudar option. All sets will be checked and inspected by the Rabbi to ensure that they are kosher before being distributed. All hadasim are meshulashim.

Kol Nidre Campaign
Last year, we shattered records with our Kol Nidre appeal, raising over $50,000 and making a remarkable impact on our vibrant and growing community. This year, we’re setting our sights even higher, aiming to raise $65,000 to further expand and enrich our collective future. Our peer-to-peer campaign will harness the power of our extensive network of friends and allies who've seen firsthand the invaluable role CBS plays in our lives every day. But we need your help to reach our ambitious goal!
Donate at givebutter.com/CBS24 by September 27, and your gift will be matched, meaning your contribution will have double the impact! You can also donate by texting "CBS2024" to 53-555. Finally, sign up to be a fundraising "Ambassador" to raise donations through your social circle, further amplifying our reach. Your support and enthusiasm are the keys to making this campaign a resounding success.

Bequests
We would like to acknowledge Bob Zuckerman z’’l who, through his estate, left a bequest to CBS of approximately $100k. These funds have been placed in our endowment as a way to ensure our fiscal sustainability and long-term security. Bob did this out of his deep love for CBS and in the hope that others would heed his example and follow suit. If you’re able to include CBS in as a beneficiary of your estate or trust, please contact R’ Dolinger or either of the co-presidents as we seek to form a society of those dedicated to ensuring that this beloved community will continue to operate for many generations to come.
Yizkor
This year, we will have Yizkor memorial services on both Yom Kippur and Shemini Atzeret. The crux of the Yizkor service is a pledge to the synagogue in memory of those whose memories we recall and whose souls we pray for. In lieu of an in-person memorial booklet, we will continue our recent practice of emailing an online memorial booklet to the congregation in advance of the holiday. To include a name, please fill out the Google Form here and we will invoice for your donation shortly after.
