Other Adult Ed Programs

Throughout the year we offer lecture series (“Recycling the Bible” “Rebeccah: Our Second Patriarch?” “What is Midrash?”"Jewish Liturgy and Prayer"), guest speakers, scholars-in-residence (“Jewish Views of the Afterlife,” “Mussar,” “Jewish Meditation”)  and our popular "Dinner and a Movie" film series, which this year will be

 HOLLYWOOD:  An Empire of Their Own

Our Potluck Supper and Film Program will focus on the Jewish presence in American film, works that feature the work of Jewish actors and/or directors and which often center on Jewish themes.   The movies will be screened on the first Sunday of the month preceded by a pareve/dairy potluck supper.  There is no charge, but donations to CBI’s Adult Education Program will be greatly appreciated.
