Online Torah on Tap
Tickets
Apr 25 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
With so much of CBI’s programming unavoidably cancelled, we’re working hard to find ways we can support each other as a community when we can’t be together in person.

Please join me this Sunday, April 26, at 4:00pm, when we will be holding Torah on Tap via Zoom.

A link to the online discussion group is below.  Zoom is easy to use and will let us see and hear each other as we speak.  If you haven’t already downloaded Zoom to your computer or phone, you must do so before joining the meeting on Sunday at 4:00pm.  You only need to download Zoom once, after that you simply log in, always using the same Meeting ID: 819 7668 2790.  Easy instructions are below this message.

This is a temporary measure to keep us all connected while we can’t be together physically.

Instructions for Downloading Zoom

The first time you ever use Zoom on a computer, do the following:

Go to https://zoom.us
Hover over (don’t click) “RESOURCES” on the top right and then click “Download Zoom Client” from the drop-down menu that appears
Click “Download” under “Zoom Client for Meetings”
If it asks you to allow it to download “zoom.us”, click “Allow” or “Yes”
Open the downloaded file and follow the instructions to install Zoom on your computer

The first time you ever use Zoom on a smart phone, do the following:
Go to the App Store and find “Zoom Cloud Meetings” and download it (it is free)

Instructions for attending Torah on Tap on CBI’s Zoom Account:

Right before the start of services, either go to https://zoom.us on your computer or open your Zoom app on your smartphone
Click “Join a Meeting”
Type in this Meeting ID: 819 7668 2790 and click “Join”
If you’re using the computer and Zoom asks you to allow it to open “zoom.us”, click “Allow” or “Yes” or “Open” and then click “Join With Computer Audio”
If you’re using a smart phone and Zoom asks you to allow using the microphone/camera, allow it
If it says “Waiting for the host to start this meeting”, just wait a few minutes for Alan to start the meeting

Join us on the last Sunday of the month online for a refreshing and often provocative discussion. Each month, we take on a new topic – often ripped from the headlines of today’s news. We spend the first 45 minutes wrapping our arms around it, defining it, dissecting and analyzing it from various viewpoints. Then we spend the rest of the time discussing it from Judaism’s point of view.

  • What’s Judaism’s take on universal healthcare?
  • Would Moses walk the streets of Chicago today packing heat?
  • Is it okay to punch a white supremacist?

Torah on Tap gives us a chance to learn, vent, share and, most of all, understand what 4,000 years of cultural development, debate and dialogue has to say about some of the issues that confront us today. Torah on Tap is free and open to all. Varying viewpoints are not only welcome, but encouraged.

See you there!

CBI Scrabble Tournament
Tickets
Jun 4 @ 10:00 am – 2:30 pm

The 1st Annual Scrabble Tournament: Vying for the Kiddush Cup
Proceeds to benefit Congregation Beth Israel.
Friday June 4th, 10am -2:30pm outside (under tents for shade and socially distanced)
A Scrabble tournament for fun, prizes, bragging rights, and most
importantly an opportunity to be TOGETHER! While this will be organized
as a tournament, this day is for those with competitive spirit and looking to
have some FUN (so not those interested in a formal, competitive
tournament style, circuit event). A special list of acceptable Yiddish
and Hebrew words will be in use. Beginners and experts are all welcome!
$36 per registration. Lunch and swag included.  Register by calling (828) 252-8660 or by clicking here.
Raffle tickets will be sold at the event.
How it will work:
Players will be matched up randomly with another player and will play one game.
Players will then be randomly assigned to play a second game against a different competitor
than game 1.
For the third game, players will be matched up based upon scores from the
first two games.
Winners will be determined (and prizes awarded) based upon a combination of scores from all three games. Special fun awards as well.
