CMI’s Brotherhood of Men and Women (BMW) functions as a service auxiliary of the synagogue, acting on the tenets of chavurah (fellowship), g’milut chasadim (doing good deeds), and tzedakah (righteous giving).

Join us for any of our regular programs:

  • A Sunday coffee shop, providing sustenance in a social setting, with proceeds directed to the Religious School.

  • Annual Deli Night -

  • The presentation of the annual Alan Lakin Award of Merit to an outstanding member of the CMI community

  • Annual gifts, through the Tzedakah committee, to social service organizations in and beyond our walls

  • Periodic capital gifts that benefit the synagogue

Many members of the BMW frequently assist with other tasks and events at CMI.

Members of the congregation are welcome to volunteer with the Brotherhood by participating in activities or by serving on the BMW Board. The BMW Board is open to new ideas.
