Sisterhood
SISTERHOOD
Sisterhood is an integral and active part of synagogue life at CBI. You can find sisterhood women in the CBI building year-round contributing their time and energy for the benefit of CBI. Sisterhood is a participating member of the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism.
Sisterhood hosts an annual community wide Chanukah party, prepares Mislaoch Manot (gifts and cards for Purim) and supports the religious school by hosting holidays in the classroom and special dinners and onegs for the religious school Shabbat services.
Each year, sisterhood hosts a casual, fun pledge dinner, runs the Judaica store, raises money for various charities and sends notes of condolence to its members.
Without sisterhood, the award winning library at CBI would not exist. Each year, sisterhood funds the library including the staff, equipment, books, programs and films.
As an ongoing fundraiser, sisterhood bakes and sells challah for Shabbat.
We are always looking for enthusiastic and creative women to help us build our programs and support our synagogue. We welcome you—please join us. For more information, please email emilie.kovit-meyer@cbirumson.org.

Esperanto: L. L. Zamenhof’s Hopeful Language for Russia’s Jews & the World Brigid O’Keeffe Associate Professor of History, Brooklyn College In 1887, L. L. Zamenhof launched Esperanto from the polyglot western borderlands of a tsarist empire in crisis. This presentation will explore Esperanto’s origins in the tsarist empire’s Pale of Settlement. Zamenhof came of age in an era of both global transformation and the pogroms that devastated Jewish communities in the Pale. As he wrestled with the Jewish Question, Zamenhof designed Esperanto as a universal language that would uplift Russia’s Jews and ultimately unite the whole world. Zamenhof intended for Esperanto to serve humanity as more than a practical utility to facilitate international communication. Esperanto was the foundation for what Zamenhof envisioned as a future global moral community of new, emancipated people – comfortable with their differences and equipped with an international auxiliary language designed explicitly to transcend those differences rather than efface them. -
