My fellow congregants,

With the current campus closure date of September 30th already behind us, the COVID 19 ERC  met with the Board of Directors last night. Even while conditions appear to be leveling off, it was determined to stay the course by keeping our campus closed through Saturday, October 31st.

Religious School Director Stephanie Posner will be working closely with the COVID 19 committee to determine the feasibility of reopening Religious School in our classrooms.  While a final decision has yet to be made, we will keep you informed as we go through this process.  Much depends on what transpires in the AISD as it reopens.

Our calendar will continue to remain robust virtually however, providing ample opportunities to remain involved, active and connected, both "physically" and spiritually.  As before, we will meet shortly before this next deadline to evaluate how to proceed, although in all likelihood, this date will be extended. 

I would ask those of you that picked up Machorzim and supplemental booklets to make arrangements with Thressa to return them.  Those of you who wish to use a Siddur and have yet to pick up a copy, are encouraged to do so as well. Jewish New Year Calendars have also arrived at the Beth Shalom office should you wish to pick up one.

The committee and board of directors is guided by three things: the protection of public health; our Jewish values regarding public health, community, and worship; and the maintenance of the strong sense of community that makes CBS stand out.

 Wishing everyone in our congregation a Chag Sukkot Semeach.  May we continue to grow ever closer as a community.
