Monthly Mitzvahs Social Action Opportunities for the Month of October

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."
- Margaret Mead

Congregation B’nai Israel was built on a foundation of service to the community. CBI offers a variety of opportunities for our members to perform mitzvot each month throughout South Florida and beyond through our social action arm, the Kantor Family Center for Justice (KFCJ).

JNF-USA Bomb Shelter Painting Project

As rockets are aimed at our friends and family in the South of Israel, Jewish National Fund-USA stands with the communities facing constant threat of rocket attack, along the border with Gaza and throughout Israel. Please join CBI in supporting Jewish National Fund-USA, which is on the ground every day helping our brothers and sisters in Israel, by beautifying and painting a bomb shelter.

Join us in our CBI efforts to support the land and people of Israel. We look forward to dedicating this special shelter with you, our CBI family!
