Chesed and Tikun Olam

The Tikun Olam heroes of the week are April Haskell and Jerry Passman. April and Jerry have generously donated monthly Shabbat dinners to CBS. The Shabbat dinners are not only delicious, but give congregants of all ages to meet in fellowship and grow our connections to each other. We also want to thank April and Jerry for their many other volunteer efforts. April, for example, has served on the CBS board for many years and is now our VP Finance. We thank them for their commitment to CBS and to all our congregants. You are so appreciated.
