It's Almost Time for Back to Shul!

Time to RSVP! Sunday, August 24 - Back to Shul Celebration & Religious School Opening Day!

Send comments or questions to Helen Richard, our Education Director. 

Gate Access Vehicle Registration is Open! 

For easy hands-free access through CBSW's Main Gate,  complete this vehicle registration form. If you have an EZ Tag, you'll need to provide the number (including all letters) and a vehicle description. If you don't have an EZ Tag, or if your tag number isn't compatible with our system, contact Jen in the CBSW office for an alternative gate tag for your vehicle. 

Once your tag and vehicle are in our system, the gate will open automatically as you approach. 

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: All members' key cards have been programmed to open the gate. It is essential to the security of CBSW and everyone on our property that all members maintain control of their cards. Don't write on the card (especially with anything that links it with CBSW). If your card is missing, notify Jen in the CBSW office as quickly as possible so it can be deactivated and a new card issued. 

Adult Learning Registration to Open Soon for the Fall!

Coming this fall! Classes and Studies begin in September.

Host or Sponsor an Oneg

Nikki Wallace, Hospitality Chair, and Kaye Brouse, Hospitality Vice Chair, are excited to lead CBSW's Oneg program and are seeking your help to ensure we have Oneg available each week after services. "Oneg Shabbat — a joyful gathering after Friday night services — is a beautiful and meaningful Jewish tradition. It’s not just about food; it’s about community, connection, and extending the peace and joy of Shabbat."

Here’s how to participate:

• Sign up for a future Oneg
• Bring a homemade or store-bought dish
• Stay to enjoy this special time-honored tradition
• Help with setup and cleanup
• Optional: Donate to the Cindy Shulman Oneg Fund (select the Cindy Shulman Oneg Fund in the dropdown list)

Questions on how you can participate? Reach out to Nikki directly by email or at 832-818-7638.

Volunteer at the MoCo Food Bank with Social Action

 Tikkun Olam is a core value for CBSW, and Social Action offers an excellent opportunity to get involved and have an immediate impact on those in need. Each month, Social Action volunteers at the Montgomery County Food Bank, a volunteer opportunity open to all CBSW members, ages 7 and up. 

The next (last) summer date is August 1. If interested, you must register directly with the Food Bank. Please note: If this is your first time volunteering at the Food Bank, you'll need to create an account for each participating family member. 

Questions? Reach out to Jeri Dushkin.
