A Progressive Jewish Community
About CBI
Congregation B’nai Israel (CBI) is a progressive, intergenerational Jewish community in Northampton that offers opportunities to engage in Jewish culture and tradition through multiple entry points. We offer opportunities to learn, pray, celebrate, and be in community through spiritual, cultural, religious, and educational pursuits. Our deep commitment to social justice is embodied by Abundance Farm, a food justice farm at the center of our campus, and our community’s history of activism spearheaded by our Tikkun Olam Committee. ​
