Mitzvah Matters

The Mitzvah Committee exists to assist and support CBE congregants during times of joy and times of sorrow. Currently, the Mitzvah Committee offers the following: 

In times of joy and celebration …

• Welcomes new babies to the Congregation with a gift; offers help with baby naming ceremonies; and offers meals
• Supports college-bound or trade school bound high school seniors and college students when possible by providing a CBE contact on campus; sends congratulatory cards upon graduation; provides rising high school seniors with contacts on various college campuses
• Attends simchas, particularly if a minyan is needed

In times of sadness or difficulty …

• Supports members suffering from illness, injury or hospitalization by offering meals, visits and transportation if possible; sends get well cards and/or gifts
• Supports members grieving from the recent loss of a loved one by helping with shiva minyans and offering meals during time of mourning
• Makes every effort to match less mobile members with a CBE buddy who can provide an occasional call, visit and/or transportation
