Shabbat morning services begin at 9:30am. We are a DIY congregation with a variety of lay leaders who pitch in to lead services and read Torah and chant Haftarah. Fully egalitarian, men and women participate equally. Throughout the school year, our students will attend Shabbat morning services.
We are holding Shabbat morning services in person and via Zoom every Saturday. The Zoom links and schedule are available through our weekly email announcements and on our website's Virtual Community page..
Often, the pulpit becomes community property with congregants encouraged to offer their take on the weekly Torah portion. Sometimes these featured speakers include individuals - Jewish and non-Jewish - within the wider Asheville community.
At CBI, we strive always to provide a space where everyone feels emotionally safe and spiritually enriched. We also have invested time and resources to ensure the physical safety of everyone. We invite you to review our most recent Security Memo to see what we're doing.
During High Holidays the sanctuary is at capacity. During the Circle of the Year, we remember friends made and lost, milestones celebrated. After Sukkoth, the days grow longer and we set our sights on Chanukah and our annual CBI Chanukah party, which regularly draws 200-300 congregants and friends.![LadyintheSunWeb[1]](https://18v0sn3t38ny3s5vmc12yhmb-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/LadyintheSunWeb1.jpg)
Jewish Meditation Circle
At its heart, Judaism is about mindfulness and living our lives with intentionality. The CBI Jewish Meditation Circle can help you achieve this. Open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike, it provides a loving and supportive community in which each of us gains insights that help us live in more loving, kind and compassionate ways.
We typically meet every other Sunday to chant our Jewish liturgy; practice active and restive forms of mindfulness; and discuss Jewish texts from the perspective of this contemplative practice. New to meditation? Don't worry, we're here to guide you through it and help you get the most out of it. We look forward to welcoming you into our circle. During COVID we are meeting for Jewish Meditation weekly. The Zoom links are available by contacting Linda Wolf through CBI's weekly email announcements.
