Services Open to the Community

Looking for a service or ritual open to the wider community? Whether you’re a 20-something hoping to find a Jewish home in Brooklyn or are interested in a traditional egalitarian minyan, we have something for you.

While you don’t need to be a CBE member to attend, registration and tickets are required for Brooklyn Jews services and Altshul. Our Youth & Family Services are also open to the community; please register here. Israeli Minyan Services and discussion will take place in Hebrew. Everyone is welcome, registration is for security and accurate counting, no tickets required. Payment and registration will be required for Shabbat dinner October 4.
