The core of CBST's religious life is our main Kabbalat Shabbat service every Friday night at 9th Avenue and 28th Street in Chelsea. The Kabbalat Shabbat service is held Fridays at 7:00 pm at our Chelsea location. Leadership is shared among congregants, Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum and Rabbi Ayelet Cohen, and our Cooperberg-Rittmaster Rabbinical Interns. 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 given every week. The kiddush that follows each service provides an opportunity to meet new people and connect with old friends.

Members also organize several other minyanim that take place on a weekly or monthly schedule. These include the monthly Traditional Egalitarian and bimonthly Liberal minyanim.

When Jewish holidays coincide with Shabbat, CBST's Friday-night services are held at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Chelsea. Otherwise, we meet for holiday services in our West Village Sanctuary   at 57 Bethune Street. Our High Holy Day services take place in larger venues throughout Manhattan.

CBST offers a variety of Shabbat and holiday services especially for children and their families. Please see our Children's Programming page for more information.
