The CBI Men’s Club is dedicated to supporting the synagogue’s mission through engaging programming, community outreach and financial and logistical assistance. Our programming is centered around events that encourage participation from Men’s Club members and the entire CBI community.
Our signature events include:
- Man of the Year and Hanukkah Dinner Dance – The dinner is hosted by Men’s Club and open to the entire CBI community. It serves as a celebration of the holiday and the accomplishments of a member who has made a meaningful difference in the lives of others. The 2021 Man of the Year is Dan Dovdavany – click here to view Tribute Journal.
