Seders - Wednesday & Thursday evenings, April 5th & 6th
CBI will not be hosting a community Seder this year. After so many years of only gathering with immediate family for Seder, we encourage you to join together with friends and extended family.
We read at the Seder each year, “let all who are hungry come and eat.” It is a tremendous Mitzvah to make sure that everyone is able to attend a Seder.
Please contact the CBI office via email (office@cbisp.org) or phone (908-889-1830) to let us know if you have any extra seats at your own Seder tables or if you are looking for a Seder to attend. We are happy to help make arrangements so that everyone who wants can attend a Seder.
