Kehilaton: 8/22/09 - Temple Beth Israel

Dear Friends,

Today is the start of Elul, the last month of the Hebrew Calendar.

My colleague Rabbi Daniel Nevins, Dean of the Rabbinical School at JTS has said in connection with Elul: "The Jewish soul points towards home. For some, this return is an intentional process of teshuvah; while, for others, it is a vague sense that one needs to mark the New Year with other Jews in shul or, at the very least, around a dinner table."

We, at Temple Beth Israel, would like to suggest the following to allow you to incorporate the above ideas of Dean Nevins...

Begin today to contemplate Teshuvah – repentance – and your own spiritual balance…

Attend TBI’s High Holiday services which, since our new permanent home is not quite ready, will be held this year at the Crowne Plaza Hotel across from the Sawgrass Mall. Please contact the Temple Office to arrange for your seats if you haven’t done so already. (By the way, we’re all in for a special treat as we’ve hired a fine Argentinean cantor with a beautiful voice, Cantor Natalia Arazi.)…

Attend a special Shabbat Dinner being planned for Friday Sept. 25th. (Cantor Arazi will be providing a cantorial recital for our enjoyment at this time!)

Three actions: Spiritual Balance, Gathering and Shabbat Dinner, what a great opportunity to share with all of you!!!

And as a start to our High Holiday season sharing, I am happy to announce that this Shabbat we will be celebrating David Radozkowicz’s Bar Mitzvah. We wish a hearty Mazal Tov to David and his family on behalf of the entire Temple Beth Israel family!!

Shabbat Shalom and Chodesh Tov (Have a great New Month)!
