CBE Awarded “Scientists in the Synagogue” Grant

CBE was one of just 15 communities selected to receive a really exciting grant for "Scientists in Synagogues".  

We will be hosting interesting, top-flight scientists at a half dozen events open to ours and neighboring communities through the end of 2024. 

Rabbi David brought this grant opportunity to the attention of congregant Joe Formaggio, an MIT physics Professor. Thanks to Joe for leading the successful grant application process and coordinating our future efforts on this grant. 

This is part of a project entitled "Scientists in Synagogues," a grass-roots initiative run by Sinai and Synapses in consultation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion, and funded by the John Templeton Foundation, along with other individual donors.
