MayMay 2 , 2025Shiru Shabbat
Friday, May 2nd 6:00p to 7:00p
Shiru Shabbat is a joyous, musical Kabbalat Shabbat service held at CBI and led by Molly Bajgot with Aram Rubenstein Gillis, Matt Goldfield, and other guests. Feel free to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy after services! Shiru Shabbat is inspired by the circular davvening (prayer) style of Nava Tehila, a renewal style prayer service in Jerusalem, and by Rabbi Micah Shapiro's Shabbat Nariya services in Boston, Massachusetts. The service includes contemporary melodies and the use of instruments to create a song-full, heart expanding Shabbat experience. Come to sing out, be washed in sound, and to connect with community at the end of the week. Shiru Shabbat invites you to join our new Ruach* Circle, a circle of community musicians and vocalists to elevate our song at Shiru Shabbat (*ruach means spirit). -

MayMay 4 , 2025Community Spring Work Party On Abundance Farm
Sunday, May 4th 9:30a to 12:00p
Lets gather to prepare our Farm together and create a more sustainable and resilient community for all. A wide variety of tasks are needed to get our space ready for the growing season, and there will be something to do for all ages. Activities will include weeding, clearing of brush, planting, mulch spreading, sign painting, kids activities, and more. So much more than just labor, it is a *party*. By coming together with music, food, and community, you take part in YOUR ecosystem, YOUR farm. Just as this land collectively belongs to you, you belong to it, and we are calling together everyone now to make their mark and nurture our Farm together. Its a celebration of earth, food, and each other not to be missed! We recommend arriving in sturdy clothes that you can get dirty, and coming equipped with any gloves and gardening tools you might own- there will be something for everyone though so most of all come as you are! -
