Start of month of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar

Join us for a kid friendly Kabbalat Shabbat service followed by dinner together.

Join CBS-CS for a potluck dinner, followed by a service led by our shul school students!

Shabbat baBayit invites us to step away from the building and return Shabbat to its most timeless setting — the dinner table. On Friday, March 20, 2026, instead of gathering at Temple Concord, we will meet in small groups in congregants’ homes to share Shabbat dinner, conversation, and a brief, home-friendly service together. On this Shabbat, there will be no service at 450 Kimber Road for Temple Concord. Instead, we’ll gather in intimate groups hosted by members of our community. Each home will have a volunteer service leader who will guide a short Shabbat ritual and discussion created by Rabbi & Cantor — simple, meaningful, and accessible to everyone.

Join Rabbi Saks and Cantor Jaffe for lunch and learning after Shabbat morning services at Temple Adath Yeshurun.

Join CBS-CS Members for a group discussion on "Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging" by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl. Born in South Korea in 1972 and raised by a Korean Buddhist mother and an Ashkenazi Jewish father in Tacoma, Washington, Buchdahl went on to become the first Asian American ordained as a rabbi and first as a cantor. Her new memoir, Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging, traces that journey, from the embracing Jewish community she grew up in to finding herself the answer to a Jeopardy question (“What is rabbi?”) — and, even more bizarrely, picking up the phone one day to hear a hostage-taking gunman make demands of her as the “chief rabbi of the United States.”
