Welcome to Cantor Larisa A verbakh Temple Beth-EI is pleased to welcome Cantor Larisa Averbakh to our congregation as our new student cantor.

Cantor Averbakh is a native of St. Petersburg, Russia and holds degrees from the Rimsky Korsakov ConserVatory of Music in classical singing, the Leningrad Technological Institute in chemical engineering and the Petersburg Jewish University in Judaica and Hebrew. Cantor A verbakh has served a number of congregations induding Temple Emanu-EI in San Francisco and most recently Temple Israel in West Lafayette, Indiana. Cantor Averbakh has performed recitals of Jewish art and folk songs in Hebrew, Yiddish and Ladino throughout the former USSR, Finland, Hungry and the United States. In 1997, she recorded a collection of Yiddish songs entitled, "Shnirele Perele," and she also published a series of Hebrew and Yiddish song collections, entitled "Songs of the Jewish Holidays." Temple Beth-EI is privileged to have Cantor Larisa Averbakh join our congregation. We hope that you will come to services on Friday, September 8 when we will formally welcome her to the Temple during our Shabbat evening services at 8 p.m.

Prospective Members Shabbat On Friday evening, September 22, the Membership Committee is sponsoring a special Shabbat Service to which they are inviting anyone who is interested in joining our congregation. The best resource for new Temple members is you - the members of our congregation. Invite your friends and neighbors, who do not belong to a Temple, to accompany you to services that evening. This will be a wonderful opportunity to introduce them to our clergy and to the congregation.

THE VIOLET ZALL HORDES LECTURE SERIES Presents

the Downtrodden or Herald of the Messiah -Will the Real Elijah Please Stand Up?"

Sunday, September 17, 2000 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Tickets are $18.00, including continental breakfast, lunch and two lectures. Please call the Temple office (201-333-4229) to reserve your place at this very exciting educational opportunity. Many of our members have been students of Dr. Gittelson in the past and they rave about his lectures, which are stimulating and very informative. We are sure you will not want to miss Dr. Gittelson's presentations on one of the most interesting personalities in the Bible and Jewish tradition.

High Holy Day Babysitting If you are interested in availing yourself of our babysitting service on either the morning of Rosh Hashanah or the morning of Yom Kippur, please cal the Temple office (201-333-4229) and reserve a place for your child(ren) now. There is no charge, however, reservations are required so that we will be able to provide proper supervision.

Temple Fund-raising Dinners On Saturday evening, September 23, the Temple Fund-raising Committee will sponsor a unique opportunity to show your support for our congregation and have fun at the same time. They are asking members of the congregation to host/co-host a dinner in their homes and to invite their friends and neighbors to join them for dinner. The hosts/co-hosts prepare and pay for dinner. That is their contribution to the Temple. Each guest contributes $25 .00 per person to the Temple for dinner. After dinner, everyone will meet at the Temple for dessert, followed by our Selichot service, which begins the High Holy Day season. If you would like to host/co-host a dinner in your home, please call the Temple office and let us know. If you are unable to host/co-host a dinner, but would like to make a donation to the Temple and be a guest at one of the dinners, let us know and we will make sure you have a place to dine. Of course, dessert and the Selichot service, which will begin at the Temple at 9:00 p.m. is open to the entire congregation at no charge.
