In addition to monthly classes exploring Judaism and Jewish identity, students will participate in regular tutoring sessions to learn how to chant Torah and Haftarah. Additionally, all students are expected to participate in the CBE community, including attending Shabbat services, volunteering with Chesed, and participating in a social justice effort.

This program is for members of CBE. The cost to participate is $1800. We believe cost should never prevent anyone from joining & participating in our congregation. If you wish to have a confidential discussion regarding cost, please contact Maribeth Batcha, Director of Member Services at (718) 768-3814 x214.

Someone will be in touch with you shortly with more information to officially join the cohort.
