Welcome to our CBS Website  
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.

Goodman Memorial Garden  

In Memory of Bob and Phoebe Goodman
The CBS Board has approved the creation of a memorial garden to honor Bob and Phoebe Goodman, beginning with the area on the right of the front door of the new building. Hanna Klachko and Deborah Zemke have agreed to spearhead this project. Because it is a shaded area, proposed plants include hostas, green ferns, Japanese ferns, astilbe and impatiens. A placque will be included in the garden to remind us all of this wonderful couple and all they did to establish our Jewish community. For this project to be successful, Hanna and Deborah request donations of labor, plants, mulch, compost, fertilizer and even money - all are appreciated. Please contact either Hanna or Deb with your contributions.
