SUMMARY:Lifting Higher: Ramp Up Into High Holy Days
DESCRIPTION:Starting August 7\, we’ll launch Jewish tradition’s seven-week journey up to Rosh Hashanah.  Using the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and mussar (Jewish character traits)\, we’ll use each week to connect with one of the sefirot (energy centers\, like the seven weeks of counting Omer between Passover and Shavuot\, except in reverse)\, and deepen inner practices to prepare heart\, mind and spirit for the Days of Meaning. No experience necessary: all are welcome! \nIn a first-ever partnership\, CBI members can participate in this special program offered in collaboration with two other like-hearted communities (Rabbi David Markus’ Temple Beth El of City Island) and Rabbi Brent Spodek’s Beacon Hebrew Alliance.) Rabbi David is a dynamic teacher and faculty at the Academy for Jewish Religion.  You won’t want to miss this opportunity! Later in the Jewish new year\, a class will be offered by Rabbi Rachel to members of all three shuls\, and a class will be offered by Rabbi Brent to members of all three shuls. \nSessions will be via Zoom on Sundays 7:30pm from August 7 to September 18.  Registration required by August 2\, 2022 via the Temple Beth El of City Island website.  All CBI members will pay the “member” rate (seven-session series: $72 for members\, $108 for non-members).  For need-based financial assistance\, please contact Rabbi Rachel.

SUMMARY:Tisha b’Av 5782: Toward Repair (Zoom Only)
DESCRIPTION:August 7 (Tisha b’Av observed\, since the day itself falls on Shabbat this year) is the first day of the Reverse Omer Count\, the 49-day journey from Tisha b’Av to Rosh Hashanah. \nThere’s so much brokenness this year. Instead of using Tisha b’Av this year to help us connect with what’s broken\, we’ll harness it to access the spiritual uplift of rebuilding and repair. Join us at 10am (Eastern Daylight Time / UTC−04:00) for a Tisha b’Av ritual of galvanizing our capacity to hope as we begin our journey toward the Days of Awe. We will be meet online over Zoom only\, together with R. David Markus and the Temple Beth El of City Island community. \nA variety of traditions connect Tisha b’Av with the sin of lashon ha-ra\, slanderous or malicious speech. There’s plenty of that in our world today\, from anti-vax rhetoric to misinformation and election denial. As part of our ritual we’ll enter into a covenant of lashon ha-tov\, good and holy speech\, and commit to using our words to bring repair. \nZoom Room: https://zoom.us/j/317145140?pwd=eWIyZzlCbm9nSm4xb1lUNUtkWlJqQT09\nMeeting ID: 317 145 140\nCode: 971260
