Our Impact in South Florida

Nourishing our souls by continuously helping others since 1984:

Congregation B’nai Israel was built on a foundation of service to the community. Together as a congregation, we have come together to use our voices and actions in a meaningful way to make a positive difference in our community.

"Three signs identify this people: They are merciful; they are bashful; and they perform deeds of loving-kindness." - Talmud Bavli Massekhet Yevamot 79a

What Our Community Partners Say:

On behalf of the board, staff and volunteers of Boca Helping Hands (BHH) and the people we serve, we thank Congregation B’nai Israel for their commitment to help end hunger in our community by hosting several Food and Toy Drives throughout the years. Partners like you make the work we do at BHH possible, and truly make a meaningful impact on the lives of our community’s most vulnerable.

The Impact of CBI Programs:

Every week the volunteers are given two gifts-the blessing of helping others, and the treasure of their friendship and camaraderie through our Sandwich Brigade.

As someone who came from a very humble and deprived background, I worked my way through the hardships and must give back. Hopefully I can make a difference. CBI helps me by finding the right direction to the disadvantaged.

Volunteering at CBI has introduced me to many of my dearest friends. Through my volunteerism, I am more connected to members, staff and clergy. It’s a very warm feeling, walking on to campus and knowing so many know my name and I theirs. CBI is where my children learned their Jewish heritage and my grandchildren are continuing the tradition.
