Founded in 1925, Congregation B'nai Israel (CBI) is a traditional, respectful, egalitarian and multi-generational community serving a diverse cross-section of Conservative Jews. Characterized by a unique blend of high energy in a low key, warm and welcoming environment, CBI is a place where congregants come together to pursue religious fulfillment, diversified programming and social and community leadership. The congregation embraces members with different levels of observance, learning and commitment. CBI's focus on the Jewish value of life-long learning is reflected in the warm, nurturing Hedwig Gruenewald Early Childhood Center, its award-winning Blanche Bayar Religious School and extensive family and adult education programming.
