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, September 17th. You are invited to Join the CBA Book Club on Wednesday, August 20th at 7:00 to discuss the book Hitler in Los Angeles by Steven J. Ross. Copies can be borrowed from the public library. No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood.The Nazis plotted to kill the city's Jews and to sabotage the nation's military installations: Plans existed for murdering twenty-four prominent Hollywood figures, such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Louis B.Mayer; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast. This true story, featuring a large cast of Nazis, undercover agents, and colorful supporting players, the Los Angeles Times bestselling Hitler in Los Angeles, by acclaimed historian Steven J. Ross, tells the story of Lewis's daring spy network in a time when hate groups had moved from the margins to the mainstream. Heads up: Our next book will be Up Home by Ruth Simmons. If you are not already a member of our club, and would like to join us, please contact Shelly at [email protected] 
September film date and time TBD Our next film group screening has been postponed, with the new date and time to be determined. If you would like more information or are interested in joining the Vintage Jewish Movie Group (now in its 10th year), please click HERE.

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...
