MITZVAH DAY WAS A SUCCESS!!

"LET ALL WHO ARE HUNGRY COME AND EAT"

   As Passover quickly approaches, a few things to think about....

·   CBS 1st Night Seder:    Friday, April 19th @ 6:30pm. $55 (adult), $20 (child - 12 and under)  RSVP BY THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 12th

·   Give a gift so someone else can attend:    Consider giving a donation to CBS during this season to help ensure that all who need a Seder will have a seat at our table.

·  Open your home to those who don't have a Seder to attend:   Consider inviting your fellow congregants who don't have a place to enjoy Seder. Please contact the CBS office  by Thursday, April 18th , if you have room at your table or if you are looking for a home where you can celebrate Seder. The office will do their best to match those who have offered with those who have requested a seat. Please note: CBS cannot guarantee that there will be availability or a match found.

·   Food Drive:    Feeding the hungry is one of the mitzvot of Passover. Please fill a bag and drop it off here at CBS for local food pantry donation no later than Friday morning, April 19th.
