Daily Minyan
We hold Minyan twice a day, everyday. The daily Minyan is an opportunity for us to fulfill the mitzvah of daily prayer. It also provides a traditional setting for the Mourner's Kaddish to be recited by those who are mourning a recent death or observing a yahrzeit. Daily Minyan is an important service that CBI offers to the entire Flint Jewish community.
Shabbat Services
Our traditional Shabbat morning services are lay-lead. Skilled and knowledgeable congregants, male and female, conduct the services and perform other ritual duties. Services at CBI engage all members and visitors, and offer many opportunities to learn and participate. Children are welcome on our bemah and encouraged to lead prayers as well. Services are always followed by a light kiddush lunch, offering an opportunity for congregants and guests to visit and kibbutz. Newcomers and visitors are welcome.
Shavuot
Erev Shavuot, Tuesday, May 18 following Minyan at 6:00 PM
Join us for a light supper in honor of the Holiday of Shavuot. It is very typical to eat a dairy meal on this holiday and to eat food that reminds us of the Torah. In that honor Sisterhood will sponsor a meal in the library that will feature blintzes and other goodies. We would appreciate a RSVP if you plan to attend the supper. There is no charge–it’s Sisterhood’s treat!

Rabbinic Fellow
Congregation Beth Israel has been selected to participate in the Legacy Heritage Rabbinic Fellows Program through the Jewish Theological Seminary for a third year. Our intern for the 2010-2011 academic year will be Ben Herman. Ben is a native Midwesterner, originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Watch for more information about Ben, and for his schedule to be posted soon.
This is a wonderful opportunity for CBI and we encourage you to participate in these special weekends. The more participation we have, the more successful this fellowship will be for our congregation and for Ben.
