Board of Trustees
CBI Leadership
Congregation B’nai Israel is led by our Clergy and Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees is an elected body of CBI members who manage the general operations of the synagogue and ensure that the spiritual, educational, financial, and other congregational needs are being properly met.
Comprised of volunteers who are dedicated to improving CBI, the Board of Trustees is a microcosm of our community, representing virtually every aspect of our congregation.
