| | | | | Dear Friends,
Welcome to Agudath Sholom for the High Holidays.
The season is a time to reflect on the past year, rekindle relationships with G-d and each other and offer our prayers for the coming year. Our tradition teaches us the value of repentance, prayer and tzedaka in assuring a year of blessing. I encourage you to spend some private time over the next 48 hours in self - introspection. Lasting change is difficult but occurs one step a time.
You will be receiving the Yom Kippur appeal letter. Your gift is an investment in yourself and community. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Finally, let us sanctify our time of prayer. I read recently about a Jew, Franz Rosenzweig, who was on the verge of leaving his faith but was so moved by the spirit of the service his soul was restored. How would people view our service? Are we connecting to G-d or our neighbor? Allow the davening to penetrate your soul and lift your heart. Now is the time and CAS is the place.
May G-d answer all of our desires for the good and grant our families and community a sweet new year of growth, health and success.
Shana Tovah,
Rabbi Daniel Cohen
Please remember to do an Eruv Tavshilin today.

This year, the need is greater than ever. Pick up a bag and a shopping list in the CAS lobby, fill it with canned goods, pasta, etc. and return to CAS by October 11. Info or questions?
