September
President’s Message Friends, Well summer is almost
over (oh no!), but to give it a last hurrah we will celebrate on September 5th
with our new tradition (started last year) of an annual Friday evening
barbecue dinner. This year the
theme is an Israeli-style picnic, complete with shashlik (grilled turkey
kabob), cucumber and tomato salad, mujadarah (rice and lentil pilaf), and
other tasty treats! You won't
want to miss it! Socializing
starts at 5:30 pm, with dinner at 6:00 pm, followed by Shabbat evening services
at about 7:30 pm. Dessert will
follow services. Be sure to call
in your reservations to BHBI at 244-2060 no later than September 2nd! The barbecue is also
our Open House event for prospective new members. So please tell all your unaffiliated friends, or anyone
you know who is shul shopping, to come by and experience the warmth of our
BHBI hospitality! Dinner is free
for all perspective new members, but reservations must be made in
advance. This year we are also
offering a complimentary 3-month trial membership, including High Holy Day tickets,
to all prospective first time members (past members and those who have
regularly bought holiday tickets from BHBI are not eligible). So please help spread the word! The ending of summer
also ushers in our High Holy Day season. We start with a joint Selichot observance with our friends
from Temple Beth David and Temple Beth Am at the JCC on Saturday evening,
September 20th. The evening’s
events will begin with a movie (Paper Clips) and discussion at 8:30 pm,
followed by dessert and then the Selichot service starting at approximately
10:30 pm. Just over a week later, Rosh Hashanah begins with evening services
at BHBI on Monday evening, September 29th at 6:30 pm followed by services the
next morning at 9:00 am. We are
happy to once again have Dr. George Kornfeld leading our High Holy Day
Services. The full schedule of
our holiday services is given later in this bulletin. As you reflect this holiday season on
your deeds of the past year and on your goals and hopes for the future, I ask
you to reflect also on our congregation and the role it plays in your
personal and in our community life.
Please be generous when you consider our annual High Holy Day Appeal,
and let us all work to strengthen BHBI. I wish you and your
loved ones a good and sweet New Year! L' Shanah Tovah v'Metukah,
Steve
