Leave a legacy of support by joining CBST’s Ner Tamid Society.
The eternal flame, Ner Tamid, is displayed in front of the synagogue Ark as a symbol of continuity. At CBST, we’ve named our society of supporters who have included CBST in their estate plan the Ner Tamid Legacy Society.
This special act of giving is proof of our commitment to continuity, midor l’dor, in Jewish tradition, from generation to generation. Together, we can meet our obligation to leave a strong legacy for tomorrow.
