The hearts from the 240 Hearts Collaborative Art Project are now available to order as prints and greeting cards as a fundraiser for First Line Med, helping provide support for returning hostages and Oct. 7 survivors.

More information and to order: https://www.miriams-garden.com/hearts

The 240 HEARTS Community Art Project is on display at Congregation Beth Israel since January 2024. The hearts were hand-painted by CBI members and allies to represent the 240 unique individuals who were taken as hostages into Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023.

We are excited to share these hearts with everyone and to share mutual solidarity, grief, and hope. You are welcome to visit the exhibition, which will be on the top floor and on the stairwell leading up to it.

Jake Shulman-Ment andВ PeteВ Rushefsky: Old World Klezmer String Duo

Online ticketing is now closed. Tickets may be purchased at the door.

Congregation Beth Israel is excited to present a concert featuring two of the most recognized names on the international Yiddish music scene: Jake Shulman-Ment andВ PeteВ Rushefsky.

Long before klezmer music encountered the sounds of clarinets and brass, the fiddle and tsimbl duo expressed the hearts and souls of Ashkenazim across Central and Eastern Europe. Jake andВ PeteВ have been performing this entrancing music throughout the globe together for over two decades. From rollicking dance tunes to old spiritual melodies, philosophical Yiddish folk songs and virtuosic original compositions, this will be a musical experience not to miss.

The URJ is committed to ensuring that our environments are safe, equitable, and inclusive. As part of its ongoing work to create a culture that prioritizes safety and accountability, the URJ encourages every congregation to craft and adopt a congregational ethics code. In 2022, the CBI board approved a Code of Ethics and a Grievance Policy, which have served as models for other congregations in the URJ and beyond.В  The URJ is recognizing congregations that have completed ethics codes by listing them on the URJ website and providing this special logo for their own websites.
