Welcome to the Congregation Beth Shalom website. Congregation Beth Shalom, or CBS , is comprised of approximately 145 member families from all over mid-Missouri. Located in Columbia, MO, we are one of the few Jewish congregations in the entire region. Although we are associated with the Union of Reform Judaism, we strive to meet the needs of the entire Jewish community. Rabbi Yossi Feintuch leads our spiritual endeavors and serves as a liaison to other religious communities of mid-Missouri. We have active educational programs for both adults and youth, with religious school begining at the pre-school age and extending through high school. Our efforts at Tikkun Olam remain an important part of our congregational efforts.
Please view our calendar for dates of specific events. In general, Friday evening services begin at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday morning services at 10:30 a.m.
Happy Trails!
Happy Trails, Rabbi Feintuch!
Rabbi Feintuch will begin his sabbatical in mid-February. He will walk the Israel Trail, which runs the length of the country from north to south, from mountains to desert. Sisterhood is planning a Shabbat potluck dinner on Friday, February 12, to send him off with all our best wishes. Barring a blizzard here or in the Chicago area, Judy Tellerman will join us to sing at services.
Dinner will begin at 6 p.m., followed by services at 7:30 p.m. Bring a parve or dairy dish to share, and Sisterhood will provide dessert. Plan to join us for a super send-off for Rabbi Feintuch.
