DecDecember 18 , 2024Lunch with the Clergy
Wednesday, Dec 18th 12:00p to 1:00p
The Talmud teaches that the first Shabbat was a day of continuous light, a sacred and special light since hidden away referred to as the or ganuz— hidden light. Our sages teach that each Hannukah candle draws from the or ganuz—the original, primordial light of creation that shined from one end of the world to the other. The Hanukkah candles can help point us toward that hidden light within. How do we bring this or ganuz – this sacred and hidden light – back into our lives? Join Cantor Alisa on Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 at Noon at Baja Cantina as we explore what the Sages of old have to teach us about the light of Hanukkah. Please register online or RSVP by calling the CBI office at 831-624-2015. Lunch menu ranges from $15 to $22.00 a person. -

DecDecember 27 , 2024Community Shabbat Potluck for Hanukkah
Friday, Dec 27th 6:00p to 7:30p
Join us as we gather together for our family friendly CBI Chanukah celebration. We will begin with a community lighting of our Chanukah Menorahs. Each family is encouraged to bring their own Chanukiah and candles (extra points if it is homemade!). Following the candle lighting we will join with Cantor Alisa Fineman as she leads us in singing Chanukah songs. Then we will enjoy a potluck Chanukah dinner that will include either latkes made by a group of volunteers earlier that day or store bought latkes. (Please call to volunteer to help make latkes!) Let’s keep all items vegetarian. Families with last names starting with A-L are kindly asked to bring a main dish, and those with last names starting with M-Z, a side dish. Rabbi Greenbaum will lead our annual dreidel spinning contests with gelt prizes! After dinner we will transition into the sanctuary for our Chanukah/Shabbat service, starting at approximately 7:00 PM. -
