CABI Corners

 

Co-Create Community and Connection

CABI Corners are small affinity groups co-created by YOU and others in the CABI community with similar interests. Your little corner of our CABI community may share a fun evening, a deep conversation, a creative project, or an experience. Group interests are (almost!) unlimited, and may include Shabbat dinners, hiking, games, book groups, parenting topics, or…

cabi kesher

 

 

 

CABI KESHER is a brand new group of CABI members who have generously offered to make 1 or 2 phone calls each month to provide support to caregivers.


WHY: Did you know that there are many people in our congregation who are at home caring for a disabled or ill family member? They could use a friendly voice from CABI every once in a while.

HOW: We will provide training, debriefing and other support for the members of
CABI Kesher. 

WHEN: Our first training/get together will be a luncheon on Tuesday, August 27 at 1pm.
Please RSVP here.

WHAT: To be a member, we ask that you commit to making at least one phone call each month.

If you want to join CABI Kesher, contact Joanna at joanna@cabi-boise.org

caregiver support

Our new (Zoom) support group for caregivers will be the last Wednesday of every month from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

This is a place for people who are caring for a loved one to connect with each other and share concerns and stresses with people who understand.

Led by Karen Midlo and Julie German, MA, both health care professionals and currently themselves caregivers, this will be a Zoom
group because we understand how difficult it can be logistically to leave your house.

View additional resources for caregivers here.

Have questions or want to join? Email Joanna at

HEALTHY JEWISH LIVING

COMBB1

 

Genetic Cancer Risks

This corner might be of interest to you if you are 18 or older, have Ashkenazi heritage, if you've had breast, ovarian, prostate, skin, or a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

We will begin by posting resources. In person events may be planned for the near future as needed and desired.

In the general population, the incidence of having a BRCA 1 or 2 mutation is about 1 in 400. In those from Ashkenazi Jewish descent, it's actually 1 in 40NCCN now recommends genetic testing for the BRCA 1/2 mutations in ALL individuals who have at least one parent from Ashkenazi Jewish descent because of the high prevalence rate. And while this seems alarming, the good news is that with this guideline, health insurance companies must cover it. And of course, this knowledge allows families to make decisions for themselves and their children to do all they can to stay healthy.

Sharsheret offers expertise on Jewish women and men going through breast and ovarian cancer and those who are previvors (people who have BRCA but not cancer).

Interested in learning more, contact Christine Maldonado.

Rosh
Chodesh

COMBB1

 

 

 

Rosh Chodesh is an ancient Jewish women’s holiday celebrating the new moon and the new month, and it’s a holiday that in our time, Jewish women are reclaiming to observe, appreciate and celebrate in ways that have meaning to us here and now. We’ll gather, visit, nosh, learn, share and enjoy, as we mark our spot in this still-relevant and continuous journey. We’d love to have you join us.
Please bring a dish or beverage to share, and please RSVP to Betsy Russell at  bzrussell@gmail.com
