Welcome
Since 1922, Congregation B’nai Israel (CBI) located in Monmouth County, has served as a religious, cultural and educational synagogue for Jewish residents of the greater Red Bank area. Multi-generational and egalitarian, CBI is a place for prayer, spirituality, shared observance, Judaic learning and social mingling...a place to honor life-cycle events and celebrate Jewish holidays. A member of the conservative movement, CBI is dedicated to guiding our children and ourselves to appreciate the values, customs and history of our Jewish heritage, to live a life of mitzvot, to support Israel and to transmit the love of Judaism and pride in our Jewish identity to succeeding generations - L'Dor Va'Dor.

Shabbat Shalom!
On Wednesday, we witnessed the swearing in of the first woman Vice President. While long overdue, it was a welcome and moving sight.
How appropriate to see this example of women’s leadership during the time when we are reading the early chapters of the book of Exodus! The sages point out that the liberation from bondage, while associated with Moses, actually began with courageous women. The midwives who refused to follow Pharaoh’s decree to put Hebrew children to death, the mother of Moses, the sister of Moses, and the daughter of Pharaoh herself all began the rebellion against cruelty and tyranny.
During a week we celebrate one woman’s achievement, we recall the women of the Torah who struck the first blows for freedom.
Shabbat Shalom
Rabbi Doug Sagal
