Shabbat Blast

Dear CBO Families,

For the last two weekends, our portions have focused on public behavior and public justice. We were appointed judges in all of our gates. These, obviously, are the wrongdoings that are discovered. Our Torah portion, Ki Tavo, focuses on the wrongdoings that are done in private. Our portion reminds us that our moral compass follows us into every corner of our lives. So many of us feel that we experience these teachings in one place, and one place only.
 
Imagine what it might be like to incorporate a Jewish teaching or practice throughout our day in a new way. We can do this outside of the synagogue walls, when no one is watching. Maybe, before we send that email we remember the quote from Torah, “love your neighbor as yourself.” Perhaps before we bite into lunch, we offer up a blessing of thanks that we have the funds, the time and the ability to feed ourselves.
 
Sometimes, life is not about what we don’t do, but rather those little spiritual touches that we pepper throughout our days.

Shabbat shalom

Rabbi Bernstein

We Need Your Contributions 
Our Alix Rubinger Kosher Food Pantry needs Increased membership contributions as well as ideas for other sources of income. We are now serving 15 to 20 families per week and our funds are very low. While a lot of food is contributed to our pantry from supermarkets and other synagogues, it is still necessary to purchase needed food items.
 
Checks can be made out to the Alix Rubinger Kosher Food Pantry or made out to CBO with an indication that the funds go to the pantry account.
 
Please remember that this is OUR Pantry.
 
Thank you.
 
Iris Astrof, Pantry coordinator
