CBST 39th Anniversary Service:
39 years ago, a small group of gay Jews boldly declared that being both gay and Jewish was something to celebrate. Decades later, we are here and more fabulous than ever! The celebration continues as we mark CBST’s history with our Anniversary Shabbat service, featuring Rabbi Kleinbaum, Music Director Joyce Rosenzweig, Re’ut Ben-Ze’ev and the CBST Community Chorus, and Board President Steve Frank. Mazel Tov, CBST!

The core of CBST's religious life is our weekly Kabbalat Shabbat service.
Service leadership at the Chelsea location is shared among congregants, Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum and Rabbi Rachel Weiss, our Cooperberg-Rittmaster Rabbinical Interns, and our Cantorial student. Joyce Rosenzweig, our music director and pianist, and the CBST Community Chorus participate in the service on a regular basis. Led using CBST's own prayer book, this warm service incorporates Hebrew prayers, English readings, and both traditional and modern songs. A drash is delivered every week by one of the Rabbis, an intern, a member of the congregation, or on occasion, by a special guest. The kiddush that follows each service provides an opportunity to meet new people and connect with old friends.
