This year the June 6th Concert will be our 26th benefit concert in honor of music at CBST. So many people have told me that music at CBST is what kept them going through this most unprecedented time.
If you appreciate the music CBST brings to your life, we need your support, and I look forward to celebrating with you in community. Here's your chance to make sure it never stops enriching our lives.

The Language of Oppression: A Teaching on Language, Women, and the Environment from CBST Teen Leaders
In Karen J. Warren's "Feminist Environmental Philosophy," she writes, “The exploitation of nature and animals is justified by feminizing them; the exploitation of women is justified by naturalizing them.” As part of their involvement in Moving Traditions' Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellowship, CBST teens Shoshana Hirschmann and Sasha Azizi Rosenfeld will be hosting a presentation about these ideas and their relation to Judaism. Join them in holding discussion about the intersections of language, the gender binary, and the environment, as well as a text study on the creation story. ASL interpretation and auto-generated closed captioning will be available.
