CBS Preschool Announcement
After 33 years of serving our community, we at the preschool are excited to announce we’re working on expanding our services to meet the needs of modern families. We understand that many families now require full time care for their children. We’re working diligently to address this need. Our preschool offers a unique and enriching experience that fosters a strong Jewish identity in your child. We believe our program is so exceptional that even if your child is currently enrolled elsewhere, we believe it would be in their best interest to join us.
We believe these key factors are benefits to our program.
*smaller class sizes
* low teacher to student ratios
*more targeted and individualized attention
*opportunities for children to form lifelong Jewish friendships.
To make this aftercare program a reality, we need your support. Once we have enough families committed to making the switch, we’ll launch the aftercare program. Our goal is to offer a seamless transition for both you and your child.
Please contact cbspreschool@napershalom.org for more information about our Preschool!

Tikkun Olam Upcoming Events
Mark your calendars, we have several Tikkun Olam events in the near future. We'll have more details soon.
| |
Our Tikun Olam heroes of the week are the congregants who are running out Day and Night Book Club. Jen Weiner and Stephanie Mathews run the evening meetings and Barbara Lipkin runs the afternoon meetings. These ladies have chosen some wonderful books – some classics and others that are more current. Gatherings of congregants of similar interest is an excellent way to build bonds between each other. People like Jen, Stephanie and Barbara are doing their part in strengthening our synagogue relationships. This is noble work and we so appreciate your efforts. Thank you for helping us build community at CBS. If you would like to recommend a person or persons as Tikun Olam heroes, please email rkramen3@gmail.com | |
