Project Isaiah
Project Isaiah is in full swing. We have collected 2 ½ barrels of food, which are being picked up today (Wednesday) by the Food Bank driver.  Let’s try to fill these barrels again over Yom Kippur. The last pickup will be on Monday. Just as impressive, we have raised $1732 online as well as $90 (so far) by check. We plan to wrap up this part of the drive in time for Sukkot (Monday, Sept. 20th) and cut a check at that time. Please note that we have barrels outside the sanctuary door and food can be dropped off at any time.  If anyone is having trouble getting food from their car to the barrels, or trouble getting to the shul in the first place, please contact Noah Heringman for assistance at 817-1360 (voice) or 239-7009 (text).  Todah rabah to all who have participated!

Sacred Music Weekend
Join the Schermer family as they celebrate Judy’s birthday
with a music-filled
Kabbalat Shabbat service & concert
on the CBS lawn (weather permitting)

Friday, October 8 at 6:30 pm

We hope you can join us for a music-filled evening!  Rebekka Goldsmith from Philadelphia and Eitan Kantor from St. Louis will delight us with vocals and violin.

Rebekka performs and leads sacred music throughout North America.  She uses voice as a physical, emotional and spiritual practice for activating personal development and supporting deep group connection. Learn more about her at http://rebekkagoldsmith.com.

Eitan is a musician, composer and educator who raises curiosity, playfulness and faith in the ability of each person to be an essential thread in the communal music tapestry. Learn more about him at http://eitankantor.com.

No Gifts Please. If you’d like to honor Judy, make a donation to the new Sacred Music Fund, â„… Congregation Beth Shalom. Proceeds will go toward bringing sacred music performers to CBS annually.

NOTE: If weather moves us inside, vaccinations required ~ masks required outdoors or indoors

CBS Book Club
The next CBS Book Club meeting will take place on October 17 at 3 pm.  We will be discussing The Yellow Bird Sings by Jennifer Rosner. The novel is based on true stories of Jewish children who were hidden during World War II.  Reviews describe it as a beautiful story that testifies to the strength of the mother-child bond and that celebrates hope in even the worst of times.
All are welcome to join.
