Greetings, salutations, and Shalom fellow members!
I hope all of you are doing well.
I suspect many of you are familiar with what’s called a “slow news day,” a term broadcast and print journalists use to describe a time when significant stories are wanting. Right now, in the aftermath of summer camp, which I
reported on last month, our congregation is going through what you might call a “slow news month,” given there is little of note that’s new. Dogged and determined investigative reporter that I am 😊 -- not really -- I do have a few items to share with all of you.
Let’s begin with a couple of reminders, starting with L’Chaim:
This Sunday, on Augst 27, from 3:30 – 7:00 pm, the congregation will join together with the entire Napa community to celebrate a day of Jewish tradition, embodied in our food, wine, music, and learning. If you attended last year, you know how special this event is, so I suggest you purchase tickets now to take advantage of our early-bird discounts.
Another reminder: religious school began this past Sunday, August 20th, so please email Marah at education@cbsnapa.org for more info and to register.
And lastly, the high holidays are upon us, beginning on Saturday September 9th with Selichot, so plan to celebrate at CBS at 6 PM with Rabbi Niles and Gordon for the service followed by dessert.
Here is the schedule for all High Holy Day services through Yom Kippur. All services will be streamed with the exception of those designated below:
Friday, September 15th at 6:30pm, Erev Rosh Hashanah; services in the sanctuary with Rabbi Niles Goldstein and Gordon Lustig.
