Congregations Advocating Regular Exams.
In October 2014, Congregation B'nai Moshe instituted C.A.R.E. Shabbat.  Since then, many congregations have joined in the movement to remind women of the importance of early detection.  Join us in reminding all women to reduce the risk of breast cancer through regular exams.  Wear pink, enjoy a pink-enhanced kiddush.
