CBI Circles
CBI Circles:
Connect. Belong. Inspire.
Deep, meaningful relationships are core to our Jewish experience. Our new initiative, CBI Circles, will build authentic connections in our synagogue and beyond. By participating, you help create a vibrant space to Connect, Belong and Inspire.
The Vision
Circles are intimate gatherings of 4-15 CBI members. These groups come together in homes, offices, and welcoming spaces to foster deep connections. Led by dedicated group leaders, these circles cater to diverse interests. From shared hobbies and activities, to discussions on vital life topics, we want everyone to find their tribe.
