CBS Memorial Plaques
If you wish to honor the memory of a dear one, a most fitting, traditional and dignified remembrance is through a Memorial Plaque.

Each memorial plaque, bearing the name and yahrzeit date, is mounted on the tablet in one of our sacred memorial spaces at Congregation Beth Shalom. It is lit on the Shabbat of the week of the yahrzeit, on the day of the yahrzeit and on the four festivals during the year when Yizkor is recited. We are pleased to announce a new sacred space at Congregation Beth Shalom to honor our loved ones with memorial plaques. The west wall of the Marian Renee Saltzberg Learning Resource Center will be the new home for memorial plaques in perpetuity at CBS. You can view the list of the plaques being moved if you log into your MyCBS

Wadler Family in honor of our beloved former teacher/librarian and CBS member Karen Wadler z’’l an educator, librarian, and resident of the North
Shore community. Since Karen’s passing in 2020, twenty-five new Little Libraries have been installed in Deerfield, Highland Park, Lincolnshire and Northbrook, with the newest addition at
Congregation Beth Shalom. The Little Library is located at the front of the building between the benches. This initiative uses Free Little Libraries to bring accessible reading opportunities to community members. Grab a book and get reading with your family!
