Welcome/Shalom
Congregation Beth Abraham has been an active shul in the city of Buffalo since 1922. While for much of its history CBA was recognized as Orthodox, it reinvented itself as a fully egalitarian Conservative synagogue in the 90's. To learn more about CBA, its history and who we are today, click HERE.

Brand New Building ImprovementsThe CBA Board of Directors is pleased to share updates on the many building enhancements made within the past year.
New windows were installed on the south side of the building, and all trim around the windows was painstakingly cleaned and painted. We introduced a custom railing on the mechitza level to provide safety and stability, while still keeping with the traditional style of the shul. Our social hall now has a lending library with a collection of various fiction and non-fiction Jewish literature. Books can be borrowed and read at leisure. There is also a table of free books for All to take! In addition, a new big screen is mounted in the sanctuary to help make our hybrid services more engaging for those who attend in-person, by helping them to see the speakers in the Zoom audience. More recently, we had new carpet installed throughout the sanctuary, staircase and landings, and reupholstered the chazzan chairs on the bima, both in a navy-blue color that fits with the traditional look and feel of the shul. We could not have made these necessary building improvements without the generous financial contributions of our congregation and members. Thank you for your support! 
Enjoy CBA's New Lending LibraryWe are proud to open up our Congregational Lending Library, located in the CBA Social Hall. We have an eclectic collection of books, donated by individuals all over the Buffalo area, and they are ready for check out.
The selections include: Torah commentary, Holocaust study, fiction, history, and much more. In addition, we have a table set up with give-away books. Please visit and help yourself. We hope this new addition to CBA will encourage discussion and education among our members. If you have any questions about the library or would like to check out or donate books, please feel free to contact Madalyn Fliesler.
