CMI Interest Groups

Find your Place in the community.

We invite you to join any of our groups below led by CMI members. Contact the group leader to get involved. If you do not see a group that you want to join then consider starting your own. Please email a description of your group to Penny Frahm.

Kabbalah Study Group

Join to discuss interesting topics in Judaism and Jewish mysticism. Meetings are usually held monthly, on a Saturday, at 10:30 am using Zoom. The only requirement for participation is intellectual curiosity. 

Contact: Stan Friedman. 

CMI Tots Under 5 Play Group

Pandemic restrictions got you down?!? Time to get out and play! Let’s meet at a playground, one of our backyards, or go for a hike.

Jewish Folk/Rock Group

Did you grow up with the originators of Contemporary Jewish Music such as Michael Isaacson, Debbie Friedman, Jeff Klepper and Danny Friedlander? Are you a fan of the current crop of Jewish Rock Artists such as Josh Nelson, Dan Nichols and Nefesh Mountain? Do you miss singing their songs that you learned in Youth Group of Jewish Summer camp?  The Jewish Folk/Rock Group will explore all of these songwriters, and more. So, bring your voice, your instrument and your Ruach. Everyone's invited to join in.
