MORE INFO

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.

E-Torah

E-Torah from Congregation B’nai Israel

November 12, 2021

 

In the Torah portion of Vayetze, there is a beautiful connection to the song Shalom Aleichem, with which we conclude every Friday night service.  In the Torah, angels accompany Jacob as he leaves the land of Israel.  Many chapters and many years later, as he returns, a different band of angels accompany him as he re-enters the Land.

The song Shalom Aleichem is traditionally a story of two angels that accompany every worshipper as s/he returns home after shul.  According to one interpretation, the two angels represent the two different bands of angels that accompany Jacob as he left, and then returned to the Land.

How beautiful that as we conclude our worship, we recall the angels that protected and guided Jacob on his difficult journeys.  Perhaps, we are asking that protecting angels surround us as well as we make our way through life.

 

Shabbat Shalom
