October Presidentís Message

 

Friends,

 

The month of Tishrei will be a busy and joyous month indeed. The High Holidays will arrive followed by Sukkot, Shemini Azeret and Simchat Torah. And between Yom Kippur and Sukkot this shul presidentís son, Matthew, will become a bar mitzvah. Last year my predecessorís daughter, Aviva Schaffer, became a bat mitzvah. So a new BHBI tradition may have begun.

 

Tishrei is a month for introspection, sincere apologies to G-d and man, and new resolve to mend the world and to live a better life. It is when these efforts are expressed through sincere prayer and in our daily lives, that our wishes to each other for Happy New Year can be realized.

 

Dr. George Kornfeld will again lead our services for the High Holidays.  Please have your friends, who wish to attend High Holy Day services at BHBI, call the synagogue office to arrange to purchase tickets. Please read this bulletin for the dates and times for holiday services at shul.

 

Please also join us as we put up and decorate the sukkah at 11:00 on Sunday morning, October 16th.

 

Aline, and I (and Noah too!) are delighted to invite the congregation to join us on Saturday morning October 15th to celebrate as our son Matt becomes a bar mitzvah. We will have a special oneg and we hope you can all come and share our simcha.

 

I extend to you my entire sincere wish for a happy and healthy New Year.  

L'shanah Tovah Tekatavu.

See you at shul,

 

Harris Honickman

 

 

 

Jill Clark, who recently completed a tour of duty with the army in Iraq, will be at our Shabbat morning services on October 1st.  Please join us that morning as we welcome her back home and honor her for her service to our country.
