Best Years Last Lunch with Rabbi Greenbaum
Wednesday, Jun 25th 12:00p to 1:00p
Best year CBI members, let’s join Rabbi Greenbaum at Baja Cantina on Wednesday, June 25 at noon as we enjoy an afternoon of dining together. Stories about past interactions (serious and funny) with the rabbi will be shared and enjoyed as this will be during his last week serving as our congregation’s rabbi. Rumor has it the rabbi will share his own plans for retirement. Will he attend future Best Years events as a participant? Will he really finish writing a book he started years ago? Together we will enjoy a free lunch (thanks CBI Senior Endowment Fund!) and spend a little time with Rabbi Bruce. RSVP either online or by calling the CBI office.
