 The 30th Annual Jewish Food Festival (JFF) is August 27. It cannot happen without our incredible volunteers, sponsors and JFF Board.
By this time, you should be dreaming about latkes, pastrami, corned beef, blintzes, kugel, knishes, egg creams, falafel, salmon, chicken soup and the best baked goods you've ever had.
So, mark your calendars (all of them) to celebrate CBI's JFF. Bring your family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances. The more the merrier.
We still need YOU for community baking Sundays, dolloping, village set up, Middle School parking, runners, as well as other important assig
nments. The volunteer forms are available at CBI, in this Shofar and on line at http://www.carmelbethisrael.org.
Please contact our Volunteer Coordinators Susan Schwartz (831-650-0245) or at [email protected] or Gary Simon (831-747-1392) or at [email protected]. And, don't forget to become a sponsor. Go on the website or contact Vic Feuerstein (831-375-7710) or email: [email protected].
Help make our 30th Jewish Food Festival a very successful fundraiser for CBI. Your participation & support is deeply appreciated.

Rena Feuerstein and Joyce Kapp

Outdoor Service and Special Oneg
Friday, August 25, 6:00 PM
Save Friday, August 25, for a wonderful Shabbat evening. We will gather outside (so dress warmly) at 6:00 PM for a special evening service. Join Rabbi Greenbaum and Alisa Fineman as they lead us from the stage set up for the Jewish Food Festival. The Rabbi promises the shortest sermon ever! Following the service we will hold a delicious oneg honoring all our food festival volunteers. All you need to do is show up and enjoy the evening. Feel free to bring something to share at the oneg! Remember, no meat products at the oneg. It is your choice whether to have an early Shabbat dinner, or enjoy a leisure Sabbath meal following the oneg. We hope all our JFF volunteers and all our CBI members will join us for this Outdoor Sabbath celebration.

Best Years Volunteer Day!
Saturday, August 26, 1:00 PM
Most Best Years gatherings have the rabbi preparing food or introducing a speaker or catering to the Best Year Participants. This month we are asking Best Years members to volunteer to do some preparation work of their own. Join us on Saturday afternoon, August 26, 1:00 PM to help fill little containers with coleslaw or applesauce or sour cream as we do our final prep work for the Food Festival! All Best Years volunteers will be rewarded with a variety of delicious snack foods and desserts and maybe even a bagel sandwich! Join the throngs of people who make our Jewish Food Festival a huge success. To RSVP to join our JFF Saturday afternoon volunteer group, call the CBI office at 624-2015. Also, let us know if you need a ride to and from the synagogue.

Pasta with the Pastors
Thursday, August 24, 4:30 PM
CBI is one of many local religious communities that house and support the I-HELP program that welcomes and feeds homeless men. Join hundreds of community supporters as together we raise funds to assisting the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program. This annual dinner is so named because many of our clergy leaders (our rabbi included) help serve attendees the delicious spaghetti meal.
This year's dinner will be held Thursday, August 24 from 4:30 - 7:30 PM at the San Carlos Cathedral Hall located at 500 Church Street in Monterey. Suggested donations for the all-you-can-eat past dinner is $15. per adult, $10 for children 4-11 and free for those 3 and under. Reserve you tickets by sending an email to [email protected] or faxing 831-533-5075. Who knows, Rabbi Greenbaum just might be your waiter that evening!
