I was a founding member of CBI in 1981 with two small boys, no Jewish family in Georgia and felt like the only Jewish person south of Atlanta. Through newspaper ads and word of mouth, we found each other and built a community based on our Jewish heritage, customs, and friendship. After all these years, I am still a member of this amazing family and still feel the love and care that makes this CBI community unique and special.

It’s the little Temple with a big heart and I just love that! It’s the perfect size for our family. We have all the engagements and holidays as a big temple but the coziness of having great friendships as well. It’s definitely a community here and we are so happy to be part of it!

I love CBI, because I have learned so many amazing things about Judaism and I have met so many new people. If I hadn’t been a part of services and religious school, then I would not have met an amazing community of people like me and learned so much about my religion. I have had an amazing time learning about God and studying for my Bar-mitzvah. Not only are they a great group of people but they are generous too! When I did a backpack collection for foster kids in need, they were quick to help these children!

CBI does a wonderful job making interfaith families feel welcome and supported. My husband and stepchildren are not Jewish, while my daughter and I are.  It was important to join a congregation that would embrace our blended family, which CBI did from the beginning. My family has many opportunities to learn about Jewish culture, holidays, traditions, and rituals while they attend services and social activities at CBI. These experiences bring our family closer, and for that, we are thankful for our CBI community.

CBI has been the perfect combination of small community and inclusiveness that lends itself to feeling like they are in one big Jewish family.
