2026 CBS Civil Rights Trip

APRIL 19-23, 2026

Join Rabbi Borodin to learn about Civil Rights and the on-going struggle for racial justice in our country on this extraordinary opportunity with Etgar 36.  The trip will begin and end in Atlanta, GA with stops in Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery, AL.  We will visit the Center for Civil & Human rights, the 16th Street Baptist Church and Kelly Ingram Park, walk across the Edmond Pettus Bridge, and meet with people who were part of the civil rights struggle.  We will visit the Rosa Parks Museum, the Equal Justice Initiative’s Museum and Memorial to Peace & Justice, and spend time with Temple Beth El in Birmingham, AL.

The trip begins Sunday evening with a group dinner in Atlanta, tour with Etgar 36 is Monday – Wednesday, ending Thursday morning.  Each day will include tefillah and reflection time with Rabbi Borodin and connecting with the local Jewish community.  All meals will be kosher or vegan.

For over 30 years, Etgar 36 has been engaging with Jewish Americans on their Civil Rights Journeys.  Their goal is that America is the journey and destination of any Etgar 36 Civil Rights Journey. You will meet with people who were at the center of the Movement to hear their stories in order to learn about the strategies and lessons of the Civil Rights movement as a way of becoming empowered and inspired to get involved to create change today.

To learn more about the trip, there will be an information session on Tuesday, October 28th at 7pm at CBS.
