If you would like to do a reading in English or in Hebrew, to help us with ark openings, sounding the Shofar, dressing and carrying the Torah, or aliyot, please let us know what you would be willing to do by contacting Cantor Gelman (<--- link to his email). Yasher koach and much thanks, in advance!
Please join us at CBA on Sunday October 23 at 4:30PM, when we will be screening the 2004 film from Israel, "Ushpizin." The film's audio is in Hebrew with English subtitles. Great news for CBA's Bill Fans - we will be showing the Buffalo at Miami game on our 7 foot screen starting at 12:45. We'll have drinks, snacks, and a bunch of screaming, rabid, Jewish Bills fans for you to commiserate with. The game should be over by 4:15 so we'll start the film promptly at 4:30. For those who would like to join us at India Gate for dinner afterwards, the movie will be over at 6:00 PM.
Synopsis from IMDB: In Jerusalem's orthodox neighborhoods, it's Succoth, seven days celebrating life's essentials in a sukkah, a temporary shack of both deprivation and hospitality. A devout couple, Moshe and Mali, married nearly five years and childless, are broke and praying for a miracle. Suddenly, miracles abound: a friend finds Moshe a sukkah he says is abandoned, Moshe is the beneficiary of local charitable fundraising, and two escaped convicts arrive on Moshe and Mali's doorstep in time to be their ushpizin - their guests. The miracles then become trials. Rabbinical advice, absolution, an effort to avoid anger, and a 1000-shekel citron figure in Moshe's dark night of the soul. Click here to watch the trailer: Ushpizin Trailer Link Films are projected on a 7 foot screen, supported by a full sound system. Popcorn, drinks, cookies, coffee, and good company all provided. As with all CBA programs, the movie matinee is a community event - we hope to see you there! Please email Marty for more information or to subscribe to the CBA Vintage Jewish Movies email list.

At this year's Congregation Meeting, many new ideas for CBA activities and improvements were suggested.
