A HAVDALLAH TO LAST ALL YEAR THROUGH
I am writing this article during Chol Hamo’ed, the working days of the holiday of Sukkot, as we prepare for the
joyous culmination of this intense two month High Holiday period - Simchat Torah.
The dilemma we soon face is – everyone is on a spiritual “high” from the wonderful services and programs
we’ve just enjoyed; how do we sustain that spiritual intensity longer? This is akin to Havdallah which we recite at the
end of every Shabbat and Holiday. Havdallah not only differentiates between the spiritual heights of the Shabbat/Holiday
relative to the mundane work week; it also helps retain some of that special feeling, to assist us through the week. I’m
looking for a Havdallah designed to sustain the “high” of the High Holidays all year long, or at least a little longer…
It is perhaps intentional that our Jewish calendar gives us a “break” in Cheshvan, which is the only month that
has nothing “special” in it. In fact that spiritual “lull” lasts all the way till Chanukah which is a full two months after
Tishrei’s last holiday of Simchat Torah. It is therefore only natural for us to revert back to our regular routines, the
everyday concerns that preoccupy us, leaving little room/time for spiritual pursuits that preoccupy many during Tishrei.
I may have found a possible solution: in the few days right after Yom Kippur, during Sukkot, Men’s Club and
Sisterhood hosted two back to back outstanding opening events, attended (between the two) by some 200 participants. It
(almost) felt like Rosh Hashanah again with our building bustling with exciting activity and many diverse attendees. The
Men’s Club’s “Red, White, and Blues” included Havdallah in the beautiful sukkah erected by Jim Cihak and Men’s
Club, wine tasting (with superior Israeli wine from the Golan), hors d’oeuvres by Jeff Sherman, and live music, in the
social hall elegantly decorated by Jeannette Bernstein.
The next morning Sisterhood’s outstanding program included a delicious brunch (again Jeff Sherman) followed
by a heartwarming presentation from the 17 Confirmation Israel Trip participants in front of a packed sanctuary.
Programs like these, of which many are being planned throughout the year, can and should motivate
congregants to enter the doors of B’nai Israel all year, besides attending the wonderful Shabbat, holiday and daily
services we always provide. If you do, then we may just have found the “Havdallah” formula that will sustain the “high”
of the High Holidays throughout the year until we all meet again in health and joy next Rosh Hashanah on Thursday,
September 25, 2014.

It has been a great start to the new year at CBI. Many congregants have commented on how beautiful our High
Holiday services were this year. Our inspiring Hazzan and guest Rabbi, Jason Miller, as well as all the volunteers in-
volved in the services allowed the season to be meaningful for all of us. One especially nice aspect was the Kol Nidre
service with all 13 of our Sifrei Torah on display.
5774 continued with beautiful Sukkot services, a wonderful Men’s Club wine tasting event and a very well at-
tended opening Sisterhood brunch. The calendar is full of events for all to participate in.
The executive committee and rabbi search committee will reconvene shortly to assess our future rabbinical
needs. Anyone from the congregation is welcome to provide comments and input in this process.
Initial discussions have taken place between the cemetery committees of B’nai Israel and Etz Chayim with the
objective of insuring our cemetery is adequately funded to provide maintenance and upkeep in the future. There is not
an immediate issue however, a long term funding plan will be necessary.
Finally, I would like to thank those who have generously participated in this year’s Kol Nidre appeal. We had a
very successful start and our $50,000 goal is within reach.

Religious School is off to a great start! We have added a new class for two year olds that will meet
twice a month. All of our students had numerous activities the first month to keep them busy, especially
with all of the holidays. We were honored to hear the experiences of a lifetime that our students had on
their confirmation trip to Israel this past summer which they recently shared at the Sisterhood opening
brunch. Our eighth-tenth graders, along with our friends from Shomer Emunim, volunteered at the Race
for the Cure. The Toledo Zoo van will be visiting our younger students in a joint program with Shomer
Emunim on Oct 13. We are working on many collaborative programs, such as skype pals and book
sharing with our friends in the Partnership region of the Jewish Federation throughout the school year.

Malcolm Gladwell, uncovers the hidden rules that shape the balance between the weak and the mighty.
Malcolm Gladwell has been a staff writer with The New Yorker magazine since 1996.

the Supreme Court), New Yorker writer and CNN analyst, interviews Dershowitz. Thane Rosenbaum, the John Whelan Distinguished Lecturer in Law at Fordham Law School, director the Forum on
Law, Culture & Society, will moderate.
Professor Alan M. Der-showitz is a Brooklyn na-tive who has been called “the nation’s most peri-patetic civil liberties law-yer” and one of its “most distinguished defenders of individual rights,” “the best-known criminal law-
yer in the world,” “the top lawyer of last resort,” “America’s most pub-lic Jewish defender” and “Israel’s single most visible defender – the Jewish state’s lead attorney in the court of public opinion.” Registration requested by Monday, October 28.

Many people have enjoyed the delicious Kiddush lunches
following Shabbat services each week. There are a variety
of costs and lots of work that is required to present a lunch
each week for our congregants. In order to continue
serving the wonderful weekly Kiddush lunches, it would
be great to help offset the costs through sponsorship.
There are different ways to sponsor a Kiddush lunch:
Donate to the Kiddush/Hiddur fund
Sponsor partially
Sponsor with others
Sponsor for a simcha
Sponsor just because you enjoy our lunches…...
Thank you to all who have sponsored and donated already.
We look forward to continuing this special time the
congregation has created and supported after participating
in Shabbat services.
Cost to sponsor a simple Kiddush is $300.00.
