Scholars in Residence Weekend 2026
February 6-8, 2026
Scholars in Residence: Rabbi Mark Novak & Renee Brachfeld (feat. Rabbinic Pastor Kate Shulamit Fagan)
Dear friends,
We look forward to a very special Shabbat and Storytelling weekend February 6-8. Rabbi Mark Novak, Renée Brachfeld, and Shulamit Fagan will return to CBI after more than 20 years to share their wisdom, joy and stories. They will lead us in a Jewish Renewal-style Kabbalat Shabbat service, dramatically perform, share a sermon through song and facilitate powerful workshops on prayer and our own sacred stories.
It will be a joyful, uplifting and very meaningful experience. We look forward to sharing Shabbat from ages 2-102!
-Rabbi Philip Weintraub
