Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Jewish Leader

This week we continued our modern Jewish leadership unit by watching the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary. We discussed the mitzvot Justice Ginsburg demonstrates, such as loving those different from you and pursuing peace. After watching the documentary, students will be asked to consider, if they were going to create a documentary about a Jewish leader in our community, what would they want to know about that person and what questions would they ask. We will begin by interviewing some of the CBE rabbis next week.

Havdalah Hootenanny Celebrating Sarah Grabiner 
Saturday April 13, 5:30-7:30 
Sing, learn, and say thanks to Sarah Grabiner for her 2 years of dedicated service as CBE’s cantorial intern! A brilliant, multi-talented teacher and prayer leader, Sarah has endeared herself to the Brooklyn Jews community; to Gan Shabbat families; to teen Torah chanters; and especially to our 2018 b’nei mitzvah, whose preparation she oversaw during Cantor Josh Breitzer’s sabbatical. Sarah recently accompanied many of those former b’nei mitzvah students to Israel as part of CBE’s largest-ever annual 8th grade trip. Following her ordination from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in May, Sarah will relocate back to her native United Kingdom to serve Radlett Reform Synagogue. Join the clergy team, together with artist-in-residence Noah Aronson and musical members of all ages, as we send Sarah off with singing, stories and profound gratitude!
