High Holy Days Guide

Summer 2017/5777

Dear Friends:

We hope this letter finds you doing well, staying cool and taking some time to create wonderful summer

memories with friends and family.

Every summer, we work closely as a synagogue staff toward creating meaningful, warm and inclusive High

Holy Day Services for our congregation. We are so very grateful to each one of our members for the loyalty

and generosity in the voluntary Tzedakah of belonging to a synagogue.

Within these pages you will find information regarding several important aspects of the High Holy Day

schedules, honors, childcare and many other details – all in one place! You may notice that we have

increased the cost for non member/guest High Holy Day “tickets” as a response to doing what is fair to our

current members, who graciously and generously provide an annual Membership Contribution year after year.

Those who choose not to affiliate with CBI should contribute a fairer share for the Days of Awe. While we

always want to practice Hachnasat Orchim, “welcoming the visitor/guest” as a core Jewish value, we can no

longer do so at the great expense toward our current members. Of course, members from other Reform

Congregations throughout North America will be given reciprocity for their tickets.

What is of primary importance for our congregation is that we take this very sacred time to reflect, both

inwardly and universally at how we respond to the ever changing nature of the world around us. As we

prepare for the Days of Awe we hope you will join us in contemplating how we can make a positive and

constructive difference for the good of the Jewish People, our country and our world and mostly, what we as a

congregation can do actively and collectively to bring goodness, justice and peace to ourselves, our

community and our world.

L’Shalom,

Rabbi Stephen Kahn Ian Schulder, Executive Director
