Welcome/Shalom
Congregation Beth Abraham has been an active shul in the city of Buffalo since 1922. While for much of its history CBA identified as Orthodox, it reinvented itself as a fully egalitarian Conservative synagogue in the 90's.

CBA Book Club,
Wednesday June 17 at 7:00pm. You are invited to Join the CBA Book Club on Wednesday, June 17th at 7:00pm on Zoom to discuss the book, Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. Copies of the book can be borrowed from the public library or purchased through book sellers on the internet. Here is a description of the book: Barbara Kingsolver, weaves together three stories of human love in the forested mountains and struggling small farms of southern Appalachia. Over the course of one humid summer a reclusive wildlife biologist, a young farmer's wife marooned far from home, and a pair of elderly, feuding neighbors—face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the land that they share. Prodigal Summer is a hymn to wildness that celebrates the spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. Heads up: Next month we will be reading James by Percival Everett. If you are not already a member of our club, and would like to join us, please contact Shelly at [email protected]

Shelf Awareness
There are so many ways to keep Judaism alive such as celebrating Shabbat and saying Kaddish. Even the little things like “mazal tov” on hearing good news is a reminder that rich customs reach back thousands of years. Many writers have given us stories about Jewish life (so terribly important) that help us remember who we are. Sholom Aleichem (1859-1916) from Russia, tells us amazing stories from his childhood...
