Upcoming Kulanu 2024

Congregation B'nai Israel

Hello Kulanu families,

Welcome back! We are looking forward to seeing you this Sunday, April 21st. Please join us for T'filah at 9:30 am in the Sanctuary and then stay for Bagels & Coffee afterwards.

 

Announcement | B'nai Mitzvah Project

After Kulanu, Muri will be having a Sleep and Snack set sale by the bike rack. 

Each set includes a handmade pillowcase, hand stitched cuddle buddy, and homemade chocolate chip cookie. $20/set - All sets are one-of-a-kind.

 

Announcement | Passover

For the first time in forever, we experience Passover on Sunday, April 28th. There is no need to bring in a snack for your children on that day. We'll be providing everything they need!

Just a heads up - we won't be serving bagels that morning, but we'll have a yummy Passover treat instead. We do welcome you to bring only Passover food/ treats to share with all your fellow Kulanu parents. And please keep in mind that we won't be kashering our kitchen for Passover. Thanks for your understanding, and looking forward to celebrating together!

 

Announcement | Sosnick Library

Some families have overdue books from the CBI Sosnick Library. We want to inform you that CBI no longer charges for overdue or replacement fees. However, due to the library's tight budget, any donations you may wish to give would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to make a donation, please click on the link provided:

For the tab, "Donation #1 - select a fund," please choose the Sosnick Library.

Donations - Tzedakah - Form - Congregation B'nai Israel (cbisacramento.org)

If you still have the books with you, you can return them anytime during Kulanu or office hours, which are from Monday to Thursday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and Fridays from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.  There is always a staff member present in the library and office to assist you with the return.

If you wish to renew the books or need any help to identify the book you checked out, please send an email to Jo Kasler, the librarian, at
