- RABBI COHEN'S HIGH HOLIDAY SERMONS
|
|
- NOTICE REGARDING ETROGIM PURCHASED FROM CAS If you purchased an etrog grown in Israel, such as the ones distributed through CAS, then you have had the privilege of using one that was imbued with the sanctity of the Shemittah (Sabbatical) year. Due to its heightened level of sanctity, it cannot be simply discarded after the holiday.
One option is to consume the estrog. However, it should be used strictly for eating and not other purposes e.g. besamim (spices). Any unused part of the etrog should be placed in a separate bag before discarding.
The second option is to leave the etrog uncovered until it dries out to the point of being inedible. Once it has reached that point, you may wrap it up and discard it in a respectable manner.
If you feel more comfortable, you may deposit the etrog with the shul for disposal. Please contact Rabbi Cohen (rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org) or Rabbi Kurtz (rabbikurtz@cas-stamford.org).
For more information, see guidance provided by the Orthodox Union. - CHECK OUT THIS ARTICLE FROM RABBI COHEN How Teens Can Interview Their Grandparents

Message from Richard Lang
Dear Birthday visitors,
Thank you for your effort, your walk, your voices and your good wishes. Congregation Agudath Sholom has been a part of my mother's life since she was an adolescent. She grew up, married, and raised a family here. Her relationships with individuals and the CAS community as a whole were a foundation for life. She did service. She showed up. She celebrated and mourned. My mother taught me many lessons simply by how she lived, what she said, and what she did. I would like to think that were she to be asked, she would have happily joined the stroll to celebrate a special birthday of a member of the congregation.
My mother's memory is short. I know for sure, in the moment, your faces, your children, your voices and your celebratory spirit was deeply moving for her. Never one to seek the spotlight, it was exciting to have her be the center of attention. She was smiling on the inside and the outside. It is an honor to see one's parent be honored. I thank you from my heart.
Best wishes.
Richard Lang |
