Synagogues Are For Prayer
You might think from the titlethat I am going to ask you to
attend services. I am not. I am writing toencourage you to think about adding prayer toyour week .
A “minyan” is the minimum number of adultJews (anyone thirteen years of age and over)necessary to recite all of the prayers at a serv-ice. People ask me all the time, “Did you have aminyan on Friday? Did you have a minyan onSaturday?” The answer is simply—yes. Not onlyhave we consistently had a minyan on Fridaysand Saturdays, but we generally have one fromthe opening bell. It is rare anymore that weeven have to wait for the requisite number toshow up. Historically this question has somelegs, but since Rabbi Klein’s arrival, it hasn’tbeen an issue. I am actually looking forward to
some teacher training. Thereare some returning facesand some new ones. We areexcited to welcome EliseKleinman to our teachingstaff. The Judaism Rockscommittee has had funplanning monthly programsabout “Jews Around theWorld” for our students and families. Youdon’t have to be in Torah School to enjoy thisonce-a-month, interactive, family-friendly pro-gram. We welcome everyone from zaydes tobabies. It is a good way to check out CKI, anda way to introduce your friends to the TorahSchool.
Adult study has some big plans. AuthorMaggie Anton is coming this October, andshe has a new book, Enchantress. KiddushRoundtables, with a focus on “Jews in the

the day when we can put the question tosleep.
You have two choices of services in any givenweekend. The Friday night services are anhour long, starting at 7:30. The Friday nightservices begin anew on September 5, withthe musical group Soul Zimra. The followingweek we will be honoring our committeechairs. Friday night services are followed byan “oneg,” a light snack, and some chitchat.Some people leave immediately, while othershave been sitting around for an hour ormore—building community.
The Saturday service begins at 9:30 AM, andruns until about noon. This service is followedby a kiddush, which is a light lunch. Again, sit-ting and noshing (eating) is optional, andagain, some people sit and others leave.

From the Rabbi’s Study (cont’d from page 1)
In reality there are two different crowds. The Friday night people and the Saturdaymorning people have very little overlap. It iseven amusing when a Friday night personmeets a Saturday morning person and says(actual conversation),
“How long have you been with CKI?” “About two years.” “I’ve never seen you, and I’m here every Fridaynight.”“Well, I’m here every Saturday!”
Maybe we should hold an occasional mixer.
We know from our focus groups that mostpeople don’t actually join synagogues to pray.They join for community, for solidarity, out ofhabit, to educate their children, etc. These are all valid reasons to join. Yet, prayer seems to hold a central place in Jewish life. It is a constant.
Why pray? Well for one, prayer is peaceful. Nocell phones. No chores. It gets you out of yourdaily routine. It really is an island of rest in ourvery busy lives. Come and sit down; let thetunes and rhythms of the service wash overyou. Let go of that performance anxiety. Noone is watching. You won’t be asked to dosomething you don’t want to do. Plus, we havetransliteration guides for both Friday night andSaturday morning services. So let yourself relaxand enjoy.
Second, prayer is not an isolated activity. It isbest done in a group, and therefore provides a sense of community. The singing and themoving as a group all help us to feel connectedto each other and to G-d. In addition, I am surethat for many, the oneg or the kiddush is asimportant as the service.
Third, prayer allows us to come together as aJewish people. The one place where we are notstrangers in a strange land. During the recentwar in Israel, attendance on Saturdays went upthirty percent. People felt the need to be withothers who were just as concerned. Together,we prayed for the safety of Israel and its peo-ple, and for a true peace in the land. Our syna-

special clock, now in our library. Come hear thestory of the clock and its connection toJudaism.
I love this poem by Michael Quoist:
I went out, Lord. People were coming and going,walking and running.Everything was rushing; cars, trucks, the street, thewhole town.People were rushing not to waste time.To catch up with time, to gain time.
Good bye, Sir, excuse me, I haven’t time.I’ll come back, I can’t wait, I haven’t time.I’d love to help, but I haven’t time.I can’t think, I can’t read, I’m swamped, I haven’ttime.I’d like to pray, but I haven’t time.
And so all people run after time, Lord.They pass through life running -- hurried, jostled,overburdened, frantic,and they never get there. They haven’t time.In spite of all their efforts they’re still short oftime.Of a great deal of time.
You who are beyond time, Lord, you smile to seeus fighting it.And you know what you are doing.You make no mistakes in your distribution of timeto people.You give each of us time to do what you want usto do.
Lord, I have plenty of time,All the time that you gave me,The years of my life, the days of my years, thehours of my days.They are all mine.Mine to fill, quietly, calmly,But to fill completely, up to the brim.
The clock is ticking. Is it time? Yes, it’s time. Wehave plenty of time. We will be ready -- howev-er we prepare -- as we fill our lives at CKI to thebrim.
May this be a sweet year for you, for your fami-lies, for all of us. Simon joins me in wishing foreach of you, a shanah tovah, a good year.

Sisterhood Opening MeetingOn Tuesday, September 9, Sisterhood members, prospective members, and guests will dine on quiche, salad, and dessert at

Cost will be $10.00.
Following the meeting we will play charades! If you haven’t played in a long time, here is a link to some helpful information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charades. Phrases should have a biblical or new year’s theme. Be thinking
of phrases that will challenge the other team.

gogue provides us with this place where weknow there will be people who possess a simi-lar history and similar aspirations.
Fourth, prayer gives a mechanism for celebrating,for healing, and for grieving. Integrated into allservices are prayers of celebration, prayers forhealing, and prayers for mourning. Are any ofthese activities done better alone and isolated?Each of these has more power when donetogether. We no more want to be alone in ourjoy than we do in our grief. In prayer we sup-port each other.
Fifth, prayer is educational. From the Rabbi’ssermons to the discussions to the commentaryon the Torah to the realization that you havebegun to master one prayer or another, and tothe awareness that a certain prayer containsmeaning in your life. Prayer provides a forumfor personal and spiritual growth and renewal.
Finally, in participating in prayer we are sharing a value with our children. We areacknowledging the power of prayer in our lives.We are spending time with G-d whom we havechosen and who has chosen us. We are alsodemonstrating the value of taking some timeand just sitting and talking with other people.
All of these reasons for prayer don’t eveninclude the laughs, the great food, and theheart healthy libations. So think about it. Thesynagogue doesn’t need you to come andmake a minyan. It has been doing fine for sometime. Think about coming for YOU.
Shalom,Dr. Joe Rosenfeld

DON’T BE BASHFUL!! A REMINDER FROM YOUR FRIENDLY GABBAI’IM*We are more than happy to accord you an honor on the bimah when you attend
Shabbat morning services. If you happen to be commemorating a yahrtzeit, or
celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or returning from a long trip, or whatever,
please feel free to let Saul Mariasis or Paul Glaser know, and they’ll have you open
the ark, or recite a blessing before a Torah portion, or find you some other way to
participate in our service.
*A gabbai is a person who assists the rabbi in presenting the reading of the Torah
at the bimah. Like a stage manager, a gabbai is responsible for assigning aliyot,
and for assuring that the service goes smoothly from the perspective of protocol
and decorum.

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE
On Yom Kippur, we remember our dearly departed in prayer, and pledge charitable offerings in their honor.
It has been the tradition in our Congregation to publish a Memorial Booklet which is distributed on Yom Kippur at the time of the Yizkor Service. In this booklet we list the names of our departed loved ones as a tribute to their memory.
We hope you will take this opportunity to memorialize your loved ones by including their names in the Memorial Booklet.
Please use the attached form, type or print (clearly) any names you wish to have included in the Memorial Booklet, and return the form as soon as possible, but no later than Friday, September 12. Your enclosed offering, which will be a much needed help to maintain the Synagogue and Religious School, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,Nina Bobrow Finn, Chairman
