A Note From Rabbi Niles<br />
Dear friends,<br />
This year, <strong>October</strong> is the month of major Jewish holidays. It also marks the one-year anniversary,<br />
on <strong>October</strong> 7, of the massacre of innocent Israeli civilians and soldiers by Hamas terrorists—as well<br />
as the taking of Israeli hostages and an eruption of antisemitism around the world. I strongly<br />
encourage each of you to attend, not only the various High Holy Day services, but also the evening<br />
of Monday, <strong>October</strong> 7th at 7 pm, when Gordon and I will be leading a Candlelight Memorial for<br />
all the victims of terrorism and antisemitism. There is so much pain in Israel and around the globe—<br />
take this opportunity to show up for the Jewish people.<br />
I also want to share a couple of thoughts about the Days of Awe themselves.<br />
Hayom harat olam - “This is the day of the world’s birth.” Rosh Hashanah may be the beginning of<br />
the Days of Awe, an intense 10-day period of soul-searching, self-examination, and forgiveness,<br />
but it is also a day of celebration. This line from the Rosh Hashanah liturgy captures the joy and<br />
import of this sacred time. May your New Year—and, symbolically speaking, the world’s—be sweet,<br />
healthy and happy!<br />
Yom Kippur can sometimes seem ambiguous. Jews traditionally wear white on this sacred day, a<br />
symbol of both a wedding garment and a burial shroud. We pray for God to be with us, to show us<br />
grace and forgiveness, but we also recognize—through prayer, ritual and fasting—that we've fallen<br />
short of our moral goals yet again, that our best intentions and ideals have “died” in the course of<br />
another year. That is what the Kol Nidre prayer captures: the inevitably of human failing. And yet. .<br />
.Yom Kippur, happily, renews us. It promises us another year to strive for self-improvement, both<br />
moral and spiritual.<br />
May these important communal holidays, in the New Jewish Year 5785, be transformative for Jews<br />
in Napa Valley and everywhere. And may peace finally reign throughout the world, speedily and in<br />
our own time!<br />
Shanah Tovah, Niles<br />

President’s Message<br />
Greetings. I’m unsure what’s happening in your house, but our <strong>CBS</strong> Ritual<br />
Committee has been organizing and planning for the HHDs for months.<br />
Just imagine your extended family is coming to celebrate. Multiply that<br />
by 20 and you can imagine the challenge we face. We are so fortunate to<br />
have numerous volunteers - and there is still time to be involved. Just<br />
contact Marah, our Synagogue Director.<br />
There is a tradition for Jews to wear white clothing during Yom Kippur to<br />
purify ourselves ethically & morally and we wear white to symbolize that<br />
aspiration. NOTE: This is not required!<br />
<strong>CBS</strong> will be purifying/cleaning ‘our house’ - we have arranged for carpet<br />
cleaning, window washing, and volunteers to polish the silverware – just<br />
to name a few. And you will be pleased to know that we just received new<br />
white tablecloths.<br />
If you and your family have not attended HHD services in the past, I<br />
encourage you to come this year. Attendance is included in membership,<br />
but you must register online. This is the time that we should stand tall<br />
and strong in light of adversity. This is the time to strengthen our ties to<br />
our Jewish heritage.<br />
