EVENTS
Celebration, music, art and cultural activities play an important role in enhancing spirituality. In addition to the many religious holidays and festivals that we celebrate at CBSRZ, we also offer a wide variety of cultural experiences for members and non-members alike. We feel that by knitting together different connections between us, we are strengthening bonds to help build our community. We encourage you to experience the wide variety of events we have to offer at CBSRZ.
Attachment to the Land: Poetry of Israel and Palestine
On Sunday, October 27, Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek (CBSRZ) will present an afternoon of poems by Israeli and Palestinian poets on their shared love of the land.

BOOKS & BAGELS
Several times a year CBSRZ invites authors, many of whom are local, to participate in our Books & Bagels series. Topics are wide ranging, from historical novels and modern fiction to political non-fiction and religion to cookbooks and children’s books. Please join us for bagels, hot coffee, readings and conversations with great authors. Books will be available for purchase and autographing. Books & Bagels events are free and open to the general public.
ART EXHIBITS
The Main Street Gallery is an exhibit space designed by Sol LeWitt and in which we show art work with Jewish themes, by Jewish artists, that relate to our community, or that educate the viewers on a topic of concern. All exhibits are free and open to the public.
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10AM to 3PM. Please visit our calendar for the schedule of opening receptions.
Contact the CBSRZ office for more information or to register group visits.
