In Case You Missed It
A Very Special Shabbat Bo
On the Shabbat after the inauguration, Rabbi Kleinbaum and Rabbi James reflected on struggles and joys our community experienced during the past four years.

A slideshow, put together by Harold Levine, looked back at protests, vigils, and marches from the past 48 months.

Imam Khalid Latif offered a deeply moving message about the CBST community's impact on the Islamic Center at NYU. Cantorial Intern Sam Rosen offered a setting, followed by an original prayer from Rabbi Ayelet Cohen, inspired by Psalm 30.

Lastly, "Somewhere" by Leonard Bernstein, performed by the chamber music ensemble that brought us social justice concerts over the past four years, with a closing thought from Rabbi Kleinbaum.
