Dear Friends,

I want to let you know about an important, positive change coming about at CBST.

Starting Friday, February 26, we'll be streaming Friday evening Shabbat services on CBST's website.

You'll find the weekly service on our website at: cbst.org/livestream

On this page, you'll find the streaming video, along with service leader information and links to our Shabbat Program, the CBST Siddur, and a Shabbat donations pop-up window.

Live chat will be available for Shabbat greetings and sharing during the service. A Live Chat link will open a pop-up window where you can chat without leaving the livestream page.

Why this change? We've been hearing that some people find it difficult to join the livestream on Facebook. And at times, we've also experienced technical problems with our Facebook stream. Streaming via YouTube will provide more reliable, higher-quality video. It will also make it easy for us to immediately archive every service on YouTube for later viewing.

For the next several weeks our Kabbalat Shabbat services will still stream on CBST Facebook's page.

From Friday, February 26 onward, I look forward to being with you for services at cbst.org/livestream.

Warmest regards,
RSK signature2
