Festival Services

Services are held in observance of all major holidays and festivals. Students entering the Kadimah program in our Religious School (3rd grade) are consecrated each autumn on Simchat Torah. Students completing the 10th grade are confirmed each spring on Shavuot.

Holiday Celebrations

In addition to worship services in the sanctuary, holidays a CBSW are marked by festive programs and congregational celebrations. Annual celebrations include a Sukkot picnic, Chanukah party, Purim Carnival, and a Passover Seder. Each winter the congregation's Festival Tu b'Shevat is a highlight of our holiday programming.
