High Holidays 5787
Reconnect. Renew. Repair. Rejoice.
Each year, the High Holidays invite us into a season of connection and renewal.
As we welceomed 5785, we connected to our community, to our traditions, and to those we love, those we miss, and those we are still becoming.
We renewed our spirt, our purpose, and our work toward a more just and compassionate world.
We invite you to revisit our High Holidays Services, and to join us throughout the year.

The Robert Peltz (z"l) High Holidays Funds for Food Drive
As we approach the High Holidays, we invite you to participate in our annual Robert Peltz (z”l) High Holidays Funds for Food Drive.
Food insecurity continues to affect our neighbors across our community, and the need for compassionate, responsive support remains urgent. Through this annual drive, CBI partners with local organizations working every day to provide nourishment, dignity, and hope.
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised more than $70,000 (far exceeding our $40,000 goal) and distributed support to organizations including Lift UP PDX, Rose Haven, Urban Gleaners, Sunshine Division, and many others.
This year, we invite you to help us continue this work. Every contribution strengthens our ability to live our commitment to Tikkun Olam and care for the community around us.
