Since we don’t have a synagogue in town, I feel compelled to share news from neighboring Westborough. Congregation B’nai Shalom is holding an Open House on this Thursday, August 11th.
(Sorry for the short notice. My fault, not theirs!)
The congregation is looking to welcome potential new members. Children will be entertained, while parents take the opportunity to learn more.
Here’s the invitation:
At Congregation B’nai Shalom, listening to our members is one of the best ways to learn about what makes our congregation a special place to belong. Here are just some of the things they have told us:
- “Belonging to CBS has allowed our family to meet and become friends with Jewish families from Westborough, where we live, and the surrounding towns.”
- “We like that many of the congregants are interfaith couples, and B’nai Shalom makes everyone feel welcome.”
- “We appreciate that there are activities and trips for teens post b’nai mitzvah to help keep them engaged and connected.”
- “I’ve heard about this happening before & never believed it, but I entered the building, looked around, and honestly said to myself, “I’m home!””
We would love the opportunity for you to meet our members, our Rabbis and staff, and discover what is special about Congregation B’nai Shalom for yourselves.
Please join us at our annual Prospective Member Open House on Thursday, August 11th from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.
You will learn about the synagogue’s many programs and activities, including worship services, our early childhood program, religious school, adult education, and much more. Refreshments will be served, and there will be activities to occupy young children while you are taking a tour. Whether you are a family with or without children, a senior, LGBT, or an interfaith household, we hope you will find your place among our congregation of about 450 families from over 20 area communities. For more information, or to set up a time for a personal visit, call 508-366-7191 or visit our website at www.cbnaishalom.org.
