Bio

CBI has been central to my family’s life for over 25 years. My wife, Beth Goldstein, and I were married by Rabbi Graubart in 1999. Our children, Berni and Jesse, attended Gan Keshet preschool and CBI hebrew school (later ALMA), and celebrated bar mitzvahs here. Beth and I have both volunteered for CBI in various ways over the years, serving on multiple committees and in leadership roles. Most recently, I served for several years on the Education Committee, then for 5 years as chair of the Financial Oversight Committee, and since August 2024 as Treasurer. My goals for CBI include helping to revamp our financial, human resources, and business management systems, and strengthening our finances to ensure the sustainability of this vibrant community. When not devoting my time to CBI, I operate a small agricultural business called Red Barn Honey Company, enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities, and spending time with my family. Like most of us, I am a member of multiple communities. But the CBI community is the only one that feels like a family and a second home to me. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to actively contribute to CBI and our future.
