Mark S. Bertuch Make-A-Difference Program

Whoever causes the loss of a single soul it is as is they have caused the loss of an entire world, and whoever saves a single soul it is as if they haved saved a universe...Talmud-Sanhedrin 

Established by Rhoda and Henri Bertuch in loving memory of their son, Mark S. Bertuch, The Mark S. Bertuch "Make A Difference Program" fulfills a very important role at CBI. The mission of this outreach program is to help our pre-teens, teens and families make appropriate, positive and healthy Jewish choices by addressing critical issues such as:

• Self-Esteem
• Body Image
• Peer Pressure
• Sexuality
• Teen Dating Abuse
• Addiction & Substance Abuse

The program uses a global Judaic curriculum touching upon all the facets of the Congregation B'nai Israel community, and provides a foundation to educate, prepare and prevent youth and family members from being vulnerable to problems that impact so much of today's society.
