Living Room Learning
Living Room Learning (LRL) is an opportunity to engage in meaningful Jewish study with friends and peers in the comfort and convenience of various CBT members' homes. LRL will meet monthly. Rabbi Raskin will teach a group of up to 20 participants on a topic the host for that month chooses. RSVP's for each month can be made by contacting the rabbi's assistant, Cathey Treider by email or calling 972-234-1542 ext. 227. Please specify which LRL session you wish to attend. RSVP's are on a first come, first served basis. Host homes will be announced soon and LRL begins in October 2010!

First Fridays
On the First Friday of each month our Kabbalat service moves from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The same upbeat, joyful melodies of Kabbalat Shabbat, a short, informal d’var Torah, followed by the brief Ma’ariv service.
The same welcoming, casual, come as you are environment. Just at a new time.
Once a month, 8:00 PM, we hope to see you there.
