Find your community

Community is at the heart of life at CBI. Whether you’re seeking meaningful learning, joyful social connection, opportunities to serve, or ways to give back, there are many paths to belonging here. We believe Jewish community should meet you where you are—and grow with you. If you don’t see the right fit, you’re invited to help create it by forming a havurah—a small, self-organized group centered around shared interests, life stages, or spiritual practice.

Havurah Initiative

The havurah initiative at CBI supports the development of homegrown, peer-led, Jewish micro-communities that foster deep interpersonal connection among members. This initiative supports opportunities to share Shabbat, learn together, share stories, explore interests, and incorporate Jewish ritual into our lives. Havurot are open to both CBI members and non-members.
