I share with you as story and give you some homework to do before you come to Services on Rosh Hashana. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes was sometimes quite absent minded. The incident is
told that once when he was asked for his ticket on a train, he could not locate it. After searching all his pockets and his briefcase he was unable to produce the ticket and he became quite disturbed. The conductor, knowing Dr. Holmes and his sterling reputation, said reassuringly, “Never mind, sir. When you find it, I am sure you will mail your ticket in.” Holmes was not comforted. “Mr. Conductor,” he replied, “you don’t understand. The question is not ‘Where is my ticket?” The question is “Where am I going?’” That, my friends, is the question we all have to ask ourselves as we enter the New Year 5771! I offer a series of questions that will help you clarify the ramifications of this challenging question: What was your greatest achievement in this last year? What was your greatest disappointment in this last year?
What in this last year brought you the most joy? ....the most regret?
Where would you like to be five years from now? If you had all the money you needed, would you still work at your present job?
Who do you admire most and why? Who did you fight with last year? Who do you wish you could make up with in this New Year? Sit for a few minutes every day of Elul and answer the questions as honestly as you can. When you have the answers, then you will also have the answer to the question that Holmes asked and, hopefully, some answers as to what you want to do with your life in the coming year and years. Joanne joins me in wishing you a healthy, happy and fulfilling Shana Tova.
Shalom,
Rabbi Jacob Luski
From the Rabbi
Join us on
Friday evenings

7:30 p.m. for
these last weeks
of the summer
series .
In 1985 Congregation B’nai Israel established a special award to encourage young students to continue to strive for the perfection of the beautiful art and skill of Torah Reading.
This past year, the 25th Anniversary of the CBI Golden Kipah Honor Society, two young Torah readers were inducted during the services in which they presented their fifth Torah reading since their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Honor Society members must have also maintained their enrollment in ongoing Jewish education to qualify for admission. The newest members, numbers 130-131, of the CBI Golden Kipah Honor Society are:
No. 130 - Ariel Reich on September 12, 2009 No. 131 - Naomi LeVine on March 6, 2010
Each year those young students who earned the Golden Kipah Award have their names inscribed on the Golden Kipah Honor Society Plaques, which are located in the Hall of Honor just outside the Gordon Youth Lounge. Todah Rabah to Ron and Claire Yogman who have undertaken the project of providing the four Golden Kipah Honor Society plaques and adding new inscriptions each year.
For information on becoming a member of the Golden Kipah Honor Society, please contact Hazzan Paul Goldstein at 381-4900 ext. 205, or e-mail: [email protected].

As the 5771 CBI calendar is shaping up, it is jam packed with something for everyone. All activities take time to plan and require cooperation between volunteers and staff. Over the summer, many of our groups and committees have been organizing so that we can get off to a smooth start. The CBI
Review, weekly Shabbat handout, E-news, mailings and website (www.cbistepte.org) keep you informed. So, whatever attracts you to CBI, make it your own by participating. To give you a preview of the year, here are some things to get involved in: Daily minyan, Shabbat and holiday services, including Havdalah at the Beach, and Shabbat at the Beach; Adult Studies programs; Preschool, PRTT (religious school), Youth programs; Membership programs, House Committee, Finance Committee; Sisterhood and Mitzvah Men’s Club meetings and events; Family programming featuring Got Shabbat! Gemulit Hasidim – visiting the ill; Hevra Kadisha; Fundraising activities – Kol Nidre campaign, Book of Remembrance, Gift & Craft Show, SCRIP, Goodsearch (see Laurie Reiskind’s article), Concert, Newspaper recycling. Check out the Buns Family Library for all types of Judaica materials. The Library key can be checked out in the synagogue office. And don’t forget Operation Isaiah food drive on Kol Nidre to benefit Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services and Mitzvah Day. If you would like to find out more information on any of the above, give me a call or stop by. I’m here for you, our CBI members. Have a relaxing rest of the summer and an early L’shana Tova!
Sara Latham Executive Director
From the Executive Director
Summertime has a tempo different than the rest of the year, and sometimes, offers an opportunity to break from the routine. But the joy of living Jewishly is a routine that needs no break, and the pride in being a part of the CBI family, is a sensation
that fits all seasons. Regardless of welcome climate, topography, or culture changes during summer travel that may require some adaptability, our Jewishness travels effortlessly and is a comfortable fit all over. It’s mid-June as I’m writing this article, almost the official start of summer. As much as I am enjoying the delicious summer differences, I am already looking forward to returning to the comforts of routine. Soon after the time you’ll be reading this, we’ll be gathering together for the High Holidays and welcoming the familiarity of faces, sanctuary seats, and liturgy. The sanctuary will fill with buzz and energy as we greet each other and exchange stories of our summer experiences. So, let’s live in the moment and seize this season’s opportunities, including beginning to prepare us for new beginnings in 5771.
Best wishes.

SHOFAR SOUNDED DURING THE MONTH OF ELUL
During the month of Elul, this year from August 11, 2010 through September 8, 2010, the Shofar is sounded every morning except Shabbat at the conclusion of the Shaharit service. The traditional cycle of tekiah (one blast) shevarim (three blasts), teruah (a series of short blasts) and a final tekiah is sounded daily followed by the recitation of Psalm 27, the Psalm for the Penitential season. Hearing the Shofar reminds us that the High Holiday season is upon us. We are inspired to thoughts of repentance – making peace with our fellow human beings, with ourselves, and with God. When Rosh Hashana arrives, we sound 100 blasts, an even more powerful reminder that the time to change is now. Finally, we conclude our services on Yom Kippur with a resounding tekiah gedola, signifying that the heavenly gates have closed and that our fate of the coming year is sealed. So come to services each morning during Elul to hear the Shofar as we begin our spiritual preparations for the upcoming Days of Awe.

JUNIOR CONGREGATION
Some of the most important components of a good Jewish background need more than just study in a classroom. It is essential that our students have regular synagogue experience on Shabbat that interests and inspires them. Here at CBI we hold special Junior Congregation services for children in grades 3-7 on Shabbat mornings in the Chapel at 10:00 am. All CBI Youth have the opportunity to worship together. They will put into practice the lessons they have learned during the week. Each student will have the opportunity to lead parts of the service, learn new melodies, and explore Shabbat teachings and stories. They will also gain the confidence they will need when it comes time to lead services for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations. Junior Congregation will begin Shabbat Shuvah, Saturday, September 11th, 10:00 am.
CHANGE IN ACADEMIC SETTING
We welcome children who have changed their academic settings. Please contact the PRTT office for information and a registration form.
THE PAULINE RIVKIND PRESCHOOL
This year I am turning to an old friend to many of us, Mister Rogers, to inspire me in writing my bulletin articles. I hope you enjoy them. The quotes come from The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember by Fred Rogers. Congregation B’nai Israel is a community. Each area ~ Preschool, Sisterhood, Men’s Club, Board members, and more make up the community. In this community, we need each other. “As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something no one else has ~ or ever will have ~ something inside that is unique to all time. It’s our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression. Look around our community. Who can you encourage to become more active? Who can you invite to a synagogue function? Who can you express friendship and show interest in? Start the year off by finding out what make someone new unique and share that information with someone else. Build our Community. Pauline Rivkind Preschool accepts all unique individuals in our program. Our school has classes for children ages one year old through five years old. We participate in the Voluntary Prekindergarten Program (VPK). The school year begins August 23, 2010. Please contact Bonnie Halprin for more information.
B’Shalom,
Bonnie P. Halprin, Preschool Director

YOUTH DEPARTMENT
It is with great excitement that I begin my third year at CBI! Now that the ground work for the Youth Department is laid it is time to kick it up a notch. This year PRTT (Pauline Rivkind Talmud Torah) and the Youth Department will practice integrated learning. The Youth Department will support what is being taught in PRTT through informal education with a variety of programming and activities and conversely PRTT will enhance, for example, a theme used at a Kadima convention. This style of learning opens up exciting new opportunities. USYers will continue this year to assist Ilana Dayan in Junior Congregation and introduce new approaches. Kadima and Halutzim will have their opening programs Sunday, August 29 as part of opening day of PRTT. Mazal Tov to the 2010-2011 USY (SPUSY) Board.

This year SPUSY will host Mercaz Sub Regional Convention April 1-3 2011. What an amazing opportunity this is for CBI. Please let me know if you are able to help with housing, cooking or chaperoning. It is SPUSY tradition to have a Jewau, a tropical themed pool party as the opening event and this will take place Sunday, August 22 at the home of Alyssa Kobernick. The CBI Youth Department is open to any Jewish child of the appropriate age regardless if the family is affiliated with CBI and we welcome them to register as a member of Halutzim, Kadima or USY. It would be my pleasure to send information to anyone interested in hearing more about our programming, so please share your interested friends contact information with me.

BUNS FAMILY LIBRARY
FLORIDA WEST COAST AJL CHAPTER MEETING AT BUNS FAMILY LIBRARY
The Association of Jewish Libraries, Florida West Coast Chapter, held its spring meeting in the Buns Family Library On Thursday, May 27th. Hosts were the CBI Library Committee, consisting of co-chairs Janet Augenbraun and Ruth Lebowitz, plus Sandy Harwood, Jane Markowitz, Esta Blaxberg, and Shoshanna David. There were over twenty- five attendees, including AJL members from Sun City and Sarasota, other local librarians, and interested CBI members. Lunch, purchased from Jo-El’s, was served in the Atrium prior to the meeting in the library. The featured speaker for the meeting was Caryn Baird, CBI member and a librarian and researcher for the St Petersburg Times. Caryn enthralled her listeners with her fascinating life story and her work pursuing facts and verifying information for the St Petersburg Times reporters. Along with anecdotes of stories she’s tracked down, (such as spotting phony driver’s licenses) Caryn included handouts of the websites she uses, plus invaluable tips for using sources not usually known about.

FUNDRAISING REPORT
I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer. It is going by quickly and my children are finishing their summers at Camp Ramah Darom and on Ramah Israel Seminar. As summer ends, we will be starting our new routines. When you begin your new routine, please make some time for CBI. Let me know how you can help. The talents and time of every member can be used on the fund raising team. One way is to support Les Pearlstein and the Kol Nidre Committee. Naomi Berg will once again chair our phone a thon and her committee deserves a huge Todah Rabah! When you are asked by your fellow members to support CBI monetarily, please respond generously. As I write this article, the SCRIP program is making some changes at the national level. These changes should make it much easier for our members to use this program. As we learn more about the changes, we will keep you informed. Until then, you can still order cards whenever you need them. Order forms are in the office. Todah Rabah to Joan and Phil Redisch for chairing the
FAMILY PROGRAMS
Are you aware CBI is growing?! We are, as individuals and as a Congregational Family. We have spread our wings and have tried new ways to do the things we have been doing for years.

We will shake it up at our Gift and Craft Show by offering a sneak peek Saturday night, December 4 and conclude the show with the CBI annual Hanukka celebration! As a Congregational Family we will learn together, play together and continue to grow stronger and stronger. If you have not been to a CBI event lately, join us, support us and grow with us.

3rd Vice President, Fund Raising
Due to the overwhelming response to the “Got Shabbat” dinners a strict reservation deadline will be followed! Don’t be disappointed! Make your reservations early! With the High Holidays quickly approaching I find myself reevaluating the year gone by and setting personal and professional goals for the new year. As you do your personal evaluation, my hope is you will choose to become more involved in CBI and take advantage of all it has to offer. Shana Tova!
