CBE is a spiritual, cultural, and intellectual hub for Jewish life
Congregation Beth Elohim, fondly known as CBE, offers authentic, meaningful and outside the box Jewish experiences for those in our Brooklyn community and beyond.
We are deeply committed to education for all ages, community-building, spiritual life, and social justice. We are inspired to learn about our tradition while we engage with the present and positively impact our future. Our Reform congregation welcomes seekers from all Jewish movements, from other faiths, and at all levels of Jewish experience, including those who are new to our traditions and those who are questioning.
Fill Out the CBE Census Today!
In order to best fulfill the needs of our congregation moving forward, we are asking each adult CBE and UT member in your household to take a few minutes to answer our Census. This information will help us get to know you even better, and will allow our clergy and staff to better serve our community, as we plan for the future.

Join us online to celebrate our beloved cantor, who has stood beside us at all of our special life moments. This will be a festive evening of music with surprise guests, old friends, lots of love, and perhaps a meme or two.
Rabbi Timoner Published in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
“My dad taught me that businesses thrive when the dignity of every human being is honored — workers, customers and shareholders alike. He taught me that there is no contradiction between being pro-business and pro-union. He taught me that our economy and society can be both prosperous and caring. He taught me that standing for the rights of workers is what it means to be a proud Jew.”
Please read this meaningful op-ed by our very own Rabbi Rachel Timoner for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
