Congregation Shirat Hayam

Meaningful learning begins with meaningful relationships. At CJE, we create welcoming spaces where children feel seen, supported, and connected. When kids build strong relationships with their peers, educators, and community, they gain the confidence to grow, learn, and develop a lifelong connection to Jewish life.

Enrollment is open. Discover CJE today.

Please join us in welcoming Ross Keenholtz to the CSH Board!

Ross and his wife, Suzie, live in Marblehead with their three children, who all attend Hebrew school at CSH. A biotechnology and pharmaceutical patent attorney, Ross chose to serve on the board as a meaningful way to give back to the community and model the Jewish values he hopes to pass on to his children.

He looks forward to helping keep our community active, engaged, and welcoming. Be sure to introduce yourself when you see him around CSH!

Join us on Friday, August 14, from 5:00–7:00 PM at the JCCNS Outdoor Pool for a fun and relaxing evening with Josh Troderman, Rachel Miller, Eli Sontz, and the North Shore community. Celebrate Shabbat with friends, family, and community in a beautiful summer setting.

We look forward to seeing you there! 💙
