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.
Passover 5786 | 2026
B’chol dor vador, in every generation, we are obligated to see ourselves as if we ourselves have been freed from oppression.
Meet the Moment
The most vulnerable among us are being targeted and abused. Our country is dangerously divided. Now is the time to act. At CBE, we are heeding this call: we are embracing our Jewish tradition’s insistence that we use our lives toward a higher purpose, by taking meaningful action for a more just and gentle world.
ECC Applications Open
Tours are underway and applications are now open for our warm, inclusive preschool, a Brooklyn favorite since 1978!
