Congregation B'nai Israel

Congregation B'nai Israel CBI is a Conservative synagogue serving the Somerset Hills with warm regard for Jewish tradition. Please visit, ask questions and learn more.

We are blending our morals, ethics and ideas, and working together to build one strong community for our future. Congregation B'nai Israel combines a commitment to the past with an appreciation of the demands of the present and of the future. We are very proud that men and women share, equally, all religious honors and obligations. The emphasis of our egalitarian service is on learning the richnes

s of our tradition through participation. Our ritual practices meet the spiritual needs of our congregants while balancing the diverse needs of our community. We extend an invitation to you to discover our very special Jewish community. We encourage you to attend Shabbat services, make use of our preschool and explore special programming: the Purim Carnival, a Simchat Torah celebration, Shabbat Under the Stars, and the annual Gala. Then, once you have experienced Congregation B'nai Israel, consider joining us. We are centrally located in the Somerset Hills. CBI members come from througout the surrounding area: Basking Ridge, Warren, Far Hills, Bedminster, Bound Brook, Bernardsville, Mendham, Chatham, Chester, Martinsville, and Bridgewater. We welcome you to become one of our members, one of our friends, one of the faces of Congregation B'nai Israel!

SHAKE THE LULAV ENJOY COFFEE & DONUTS OCTOBER 1st - 8:15am - 9am
Swing by CBI Sunday morning, grab a coffee and a donut, and shake the Lulav and Etrog, in the sukkah, with Rabbi Robert and Hazzan Brian. Wave the Lulav and Etrog to celebrate the fall arrival of Sukkot. What better way to start the morning than a coffee and a “shake”? A quick way to touch base with nature and tradition, and leave with a smile.
