Upcoming Events
Carmel Jewish Film Festival March 2-17, 2019
FREE Sneak Preview Film: Saturday, February 9, at 7:30 PM Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story
The Carmel Jewish Film Festival is now entering its ninth year. Through the power and artistry of cinema, the festival seeks to engage the greater community in meaningful dialogue on important issues of our day. While informed by a uniquely Jewish sensibility, our films communicate themes and messages with universal appeal to a wide audience drawn from the Monterey area and beyond. Our festival’s accompanying programs further engage mind and heart through discussion and social interaction. We hope that our festival will help bridge cultural and religious differences and contribute to solidarity and peace.
We are excited to invite you and our friends to our 7th At Home with CBI, a series of captivating gatherings, fabulous soirée, and friendly get-togethers.
There are 8 outstanding events to choose from. Our generous hosts have outdone themselves designing these events that support our congregation.
As you review the “menu of possibilities” think about friends outside our CBI family that would enjoy attending with you. What a great way to connect with friends, meet new people and have a great time while supporting our congregation!
