The Fair Lawn Jewish Center/Congregation B’nai Israel is a Conservative, traditional-egalitarian synagogue that has been at the center of Jewish life in Fair Lawn and neighboring communities for the past seventy years. We are a welcoming and inclusive congregation in which all members are made to feel comfortable and at home. We take great pride in our vibrant community, and look forward to sharing our traditions with new members and passing on our legacy to future generations.
We offer evening minyanim and weekly Shabbat services throughout the year in addition to services for all Jewish holidays. Our synagogue is dedicated to education for learners of any age, with an active Religious School and Adult Education program. Other important arms of FLJC/CBI include an active Men’s Progress club and vibrant Sisterhood program, both of which provide plenty of opportunities for tzedakah projects, special events and various activities.

Rabbi’s Coffee and Gratitude Hour 10:00-11:00 AM
Start your week with a coffee break and a check-in with Rabbi Salston and your friends at FLJC/CBI! Get to know Rabbi Salston and share your hopes for the coming week. We will learn about the origins of reciting brakhot (blessings) and each week we will focus on a brakhah for day to day experiences so that we can increase our gratitude in every moment.
Rabbi’s Tea Room 8:00-9:00 PM
(2 evenings a month)
Cozy up with a cup of tea and join Rabbi Salston in her home-office arm chair for some informal conversation.
What’s Jewish about Jewish movies? 8:00-9:00 PM (1 evening a month)
Join Rabbi Salston and Charlie Cohen in a discussion of the Jewish movie of the month. Both Charlie and Rabbi Salston will share their reflections and ask some questions of the group. Rabbi Salston will note Jewish details you may have missed and unpack their Jewish textual and/or historical origins and significance. In particular, Rabbi Salston loves to ask how modern Jewish and/or Israeli film and television plays with halakhic (Jewish legal) situations. The movies are announced about a month in advance and are accessible on mainstream streaming platforms, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Coffee and Commentary 11:00-12:00 AM
Bring a cup of coffee and your Humash and be ready to delve deeply into a few lines of Parshat haShavua (the weekly Torah portion). Internet-based Torah learning skills are introduced and used throughout the discussion. All curious minds are welcome!
Join Rabbi Salston for 20 minutes of singing slow short songs, Psalm 23, and Yedid Nefesh to intentionally wish Shabbat a goodbye-until-next-week. Songs can be found in the Weekly Insider link to the FLJC/CBI Seudah Shlisheet and Havdalah or in any bencher (Grace After Meals and song book) of your choice. As Seudah Shlisheet is the third meal of Shabbat, feel free to bring a snack. We will follow with Weekday Ma’ariv and Havdalah.
