Erev Purim Service
Wednesday, March 20, 2019 • 13 Adar II 5779
6:00 PM - 8:00 PMCBE’s Community Purim Services and Megillah Reading are a highlight of the year. This year, over 30 adults, teens, and children from our CBE community will chant verses from the Megillah! Join Rabbi Mike and Cantor Sarra in telling the story of Esther with costumes, comedy, and music. Renowned Klezmer musician Barry Shapiro will accompany members of CBE’s own Klezmer Band to make this is a special musical event. If you’d like, bring homemade noisemakers and wear a costume! We will be collecting donations for the Acton Food Pantry in order to fulfill an important mitzvah of Purim ("matanot l’evyonim"), so please bring a canned good. All are welcome!
Mr. Shapiro, a Klezmer and Jazz pianist and accordionist, is a graduate of The New England Conservatory. One of the founding members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band (along with Hankus Netsky, CBE’s 2009 Artist in Residence), he currently leads and plays with several bands, including the “Barry Shapiro Orchestra,” and teaches Israeli dancing.

We've gone solar!
In observance of the mitzvah, sh'mirat ha-adamah, "protecting the earth," the CBE board has made the commitment to solar power.
Electricity generated by our four solar canopies is among the most for a house of worship in Massachusetts.
See in real time how much electricity is produced directly for CBE and for CBE & the Community. Read about the solar project and when the system went live. Also learn how families are helping the environment by watching our teens in a short video or by joining the Green Team.
