The sunshine state is blessed to have dozens of dynamic Jewish Men’s Clubs and Brotherhoods and the Congregation Beth Shalom (CBS) Brotherhood of Clearwater, Florida is one of the shining jewels of Pinellas County. Congregation Beth Shalom of Clearwater, Florida is an egalitarian Conservative synagogue. Known as as a compassionate, welcoming, inclusive and above all a loving, faith-based Jewish community, people describe CBS as “my family” and “comfortable” as they join together in prayer, song, education, service of the heart and the celebration of life-cycle events in a true feeling of togetherness.
The CBS Brotherhood is made up of a group of individuals dedicated to the growth of our organization and the building of a strong fellowship among the men of CBS. The Brotherhood offers you many ways to participate in strengthening the synagogue and community by mixing opportunities for service with chances for men to interact both socially and spiritually.
Recent CBS Brotherhood programs and events included participation in the 5785 FJMC World Wide Wrap and distribution of FJMC Shoah Yellow Candles™. Other programs of note included “Brotherhood Brewery Night” at Rapp Brewing Company in Seminole, Florida, a trip to the Tampa Bay Jewish Film Festival at the St. James Museum of St. Petersburg and CBS Brotherhood Shabbat.
