Va'ads at CBH

Va'ads at CBH

Here at CBH we have multiple va'ads (committees) and teams through which you can further your involvement with CBH. Please read below to learn more:

Adult Jewish Education Va'ad

Judaism is filled with fascinating characters, suspenseful stories, truisms, songs, rituals, and holiday magic! It has sustained us for 6000 years. The Adult Jewish Education Va'ad brings this knowledge and practice to our community. Join us as we explore your interests. What did you always want to know about the spiritual community you chose? How would you like to celebrate the special moments in our history? Join us! Please contact Sandra Menes at sivia.traveler@hotmail.com.

Gender Diversity Team

We are a committee of gender diverse people and allies working to make CBH and our greater community a safe, welcoming place for those who are not cisgender or who love someone who isn’t cisgender. For more information, please contact Aran Myracle, aaronmyracle@gmail.com.

Kef (Fun!) Committee

The Kef (Fun!) Committee, oddly enough, plans fun community events, both out- and indoors. We aim to please with a wide variety of activities to appeal to (or appall) everybody. 2022 events include: Comet Bowling with CBH friends and family, a taco truck/picnic at a park, adults-only "Tipsy Painting", and a mega-swap/sale of our personal stuff overflow, a la Marie Kondo. In the future, get ready to shake your booty, Israeli dancing style, Glamp with a hike/camp expedition, and participate in Game Night. We want your fun ideas too! Interested in joining us? Contact Amy Lighthill (nightowl100@gmail.com) and be prepared to sing "Some Nights" by the band Fun as your hazing ordeal.

Refugee Support Team

We are a group of CBH congregants who have been supporting Afghani refugees since the tragic fall of Kabul.  We have collected and donated coats, shoes, and socks for the Afghani American Alliance of Georgia (AAAG). We have helped AAAG collect furniture and household items and set up a new facility where families can come and shop.  Since early Summer 2022 we have been participating in New American Pathways Family friend program and are supporting a wonderful family of 9 with English, setting up a household, settling into Atlanta and friendship.  We visit the family for ESL and other support 3 times a week and hope to start taking them out  into the wider community more. To learn more, please contact Kim Goldsmith, kimgoldsmith@comcast.net.
