Join Congregation Bene Shalom for "Show in the Shul" November 10
Rabbi Charlene Brooks Heads A Music And Gala To Support Congregation Bene Shalom

Skokie, IL (September, 2024) “I came to PRAY and I left FULFILLED” were the words echoed by one of Bene Shalom’s congregants.
Congregation Bene Shalom Hebrew Association for the Deaf and Hearing (CBS) boasts a
rich 50-year history as the pioneering nationwide temple dedicated to
both hearing and deaf Jewish members. All services, including Shabbat
and holiday observances, feature ASL interpretation. Embracing a
philosophy that everyone deserves access to God and prayer, CBS offers a
distinctive and inclusive experience. Welcoming people of all
backgrounds, faiths, all sexual orientations and gender identities, this
beloved temple is currently facing financial difficulties.
To support our mission, CBS is thrilled to host a benefit featuring an
afternoon of music and comedy on Sunday, November 10th at 3:00pm (doors
open at 2:00pm) to raise awareness and support for the temple’s needs.
Before becoming a Rabbi, Brooks had a distinguished career as a singer
and cabaret performer, writer, lyricist and actress performing her
one-woman shows while being the Cantorial soloist with CBS. Performing
across both secular and religious spheres, she began her journey with
big bands and continues to sell out concerts at the Skokie Theatre.
