A Note From Rabbi Niles<br />
Dear friends,<br />
The Hebrew month of Elul, which coincides this year with the month of <strong>September</strong>, is sometimes broken<br />
down by its Hebrew letters: Alef, Lamed, Vav, Lamed. In this way, it can serve as an acronym for a famous<br />
verse from the Song of Songs that is often used at Jewish weddings: Ani L’dodi V’dodi Li, “I am my beloved<br />
and my beloved is mine.” This is an appropriate sentiment and mindset to have as we prepare during this<br />
month for the union with God during the Days of Awe, as well as for our reconnection with the Jewish<br />
community in Napa.<br />
One Jewish tradition during the month of Elul is to blow the shofar every morning, a sort of “wake up call”<br />
to get us ready for the New Year and the High Holy Days. May we work at being “woke” as Jews at this<br />
time. May we engage in study and prayer to help direct our minds and hearts toward the sacred days<br />
ahead of us. May we strive to look within ourselves but also to support one another in our community. This<br />
has not been an easy time to be a Jew, but all we need do is reach out to our fellow brothers and sisters<br />
for support, inspiration, and love. We are not alone!<br />
B'shalom, Niles<br />
President’s Message<br />
Safety is my focus this month. Thankfully our primary building is well protected<br />
with LATCH access and alarms. We hire security staff (usually Mark) for all<br />
services and other guards were onsite each day of Summer Camp.<br />
I became concerned that we needed to strengthen security for the<br />
administration building as I watched families cross through our campus to<br />
swim school daily. We recently installed a new lock system and video<br />
equipment to protect our essential staff.<br />
We are also in process of applying for a Security Grant to strengthen our<br />
perimeter and thwart attacks.<br />
With tensions escalating worldwide the Rabbi & I agreed it was time for refresher training<br />
regarding Situational Awareness and Active Shooters. Note: this training is not limited to<br />
your attendance at <strong>CBS</strong>. It’s as useful to you when you’re on vacation or out and about the<br />
community!<br />
Please sign up if you can attend in person - Sunday, Sept 8th 4-6pm. For those who choose,<br />
this training/discussion will be available online.<br />
