Join CBST to welcome Shabbat Chanukah! Our brightest service of the year falls at the darkest part of winter, and we hope you'll join Rabbi Kleinbaum, Rabbi Werber, Cantor Rosen, Music Director Joyce Rosenzweig, and our fabulous Community Chorus as we let our lights shine. Light Chanukah candles, give thanks for the light in our lives, and sing along CBST-style with our famous Chanukah medley (and everyone's favorite rabbinic solo). Stay for a latke kiddush and see old friends. One of our most popular services of the year, Shabbat Chanukah is a community experience you won't want to miss. Chag Urim Sameach!
