• During a time of great division in our country and within the American Jewish community, CBE believes it is more important than ever to engage in open dialogue about the issues closest to our hearts and minds. Our Jewish tradition calls on us to seek truth, to wrestle with a multitude of perspectives, and to insist on the importance of asking difficult questions.

    Toward this end, we have invited each of the leading candidates for New York City mayor to meet with our members, who have expressed a broad range of concerns, thoughts, and questions about the upcoming mayoral election. These town hall events will be an opportunity for members to learn more about the people who want to lead our city.

    These events are open only to our members and closed to the press. CBE does not and will not endorse candidates for any public office.

Upcoming:

CBE is a spiritual, cultural, and intellectual hub for Jewish life

Congregation Beth Elohim, fondly known as CBE, offers authentic, meaningful and outside the box Jewish experiences for those in our Brooklyn community and beyond.

We are deeply committed to education for all ages, community-building, spiritual life, and social justice. We are inspired to learn about our tradition while we engage with the present and positively impact our future. Our Reform congregation welcomes seekers from all Jewish movements, from other faiths, and at all levels of Jewish experience, including those who are new to our traditions and those who are questioning.

Growth Survey

Growth Survey

CBE is growing! To help us manage and understand this change, our Board of Trustees has created a task force whose goal is to understand and help shape what CBE can be in one year, in three years, and for a long time to come. One of the most pressing conversations we are having is about our physical space during the High Holy Days.
