Lifecycle

At the heart of Congregation Anshei Israel is our shared commitment to show up for one another, in moments of joy, in times of sorrow, and in the sacred spaces in between.

MINYAN BY REQUEST

We know how meaningful it is to say Kaddish with our community. Our new “by request” model for minyan ensures that when our members need us, we are ready to be present in a way that is thoughtful and supportive.

If you plan to say Kaddish, you can request a service in advance, either in person at CAI, on Zoom, or both. Please make requests at least two weeks in advance for hybrid services or one week in advance for Zoom-only.
