| | | | | People often ask, "How was your Rosh Hashanah?" Thank G-d, we experience meaningful holidays but the answer will fully be revealed over the next year. As we approach the culmination of the High Holidays with Yom Kippur tomorrow night, we are afforded another day to insure we are sealed next year for the Book of Life. G-d willing, we will harness the sanctity of the day for repentance, prayer and charity. May G-d grant you and your families a year filled with health, joy and many blessings and may we all be sealed in the Book of Life this coming year. G'mar Chatimah Tovah! Rabbi Daniel Cohen rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org | 203-252-8252 | Rabbi Cohen's podcasts |
| ***One of the highlights of the year at CAS is the annual Blessing of the Children moments before the shofar is blown. Please bring your children to this event on Yom Kippur night. Rather than congregate on the bima during maariv, we ask you to send your children to the Bennet Simcha Room at 7:30 PM. They will be escorted into the shul at the completion of maariv for the Blessing and then given light sticks for havdalah followed by the shofar blast. G-d willing, we will all be blessed for a sweet New Year! |

We are a group of approximately fifty members ranging in age from 40 and up and we come from all over CT and Westchester County. Our monthly meetings take place in Westport, CT (usually at the UJA offices) every second Tuesday of the month. Spouses of 2G members as well as 3rd Generation often attend our general meetings. In our first year of existence, we have made great strides. In addition to creating our mission statement, "To honor the spirit and courage of our parents and those who perished or survived and rebuilt their lives. And to remember them and dedicate in their honor good works and healing deeds to benefit and enlighten future generations so the horrors of the Shoah will never be revisited upon humanity" we are also exploring and sharing the unique experiences, awareness, bonds, burdens, and responsibilities that come with being Children of Holocaust survivors. As we journey into our second year together, we realize even more how much great community depends on great conversation and that we are witnesses in ourselves to something far greater than ourselves.Please come and join us. For further contact information call: Ann Cohn at 203-762-0058(home) or 203-984-6667(cell) LIFE TRANSITIONS-Wednesdays at 11:30 am.
