MESSAGE FROM RABBI KEAN

On behalf of Congregation Beth Abraham-Jacob, 
I would like to wish you and your family a meaningful and restful Shabbat.

This Shabbat is Rosh Chodesh Elul, which means that Rosh HaShanah is only one month away! This means that it is time for each of us to begin preparing our hearts and minds for the new Jewish year and Day of Judgment.

Here at CBAJ, preparations for the coming year are well underway! As you can see from this week's Shabbat notes, we are already beginning put new events on the calendar. Please continue to check your emails from CBAJ as more programs and events are in the works.

I hope to see you soon at tefilah, a youth program, or a social event!

Shabbat Shalom & Chodesh Tov,
Rabbi Ben Kean

CBAJ COVID POLICY 

MESSAGE FROM RABBI KEAN

On behalf of Congregation Beth Abraham-Jacob, 
I would like to wish you and your family a meaningful and restful Shabbat.

Please consider registering for weekday services for the coming week to ensure we will have a minyan. A few of our regulars for weekday minyan will be out of town for part of next week. Click here to register.

This week, I am reflecting on the power of Kevurat Yisrael, Jewish burial. In particular, I am extremely impressed and proud that this week, the CBAJ community came together to provide a minyan for the burial of Martin Madison, z''l, a Jewish man who lived in a group home and left behind a small family. In particular, I want to publicly acknowledge Rabbi Bomzer and Barry Siegel, who were indispensable in supporting me to prepare and run the funeral, as well as all those who came to be a part of the minyan. These efforts meant a tremendous deal to the family, who were clearly deeply moved by the funeral.

Today is Rosh Chodesh Av, so please be sure to review the rules for the Nine Days! As always, I am always happy to answer any questions.

I hope to see you soon at tefilah, a youth program, or a social event!

Shabbat Shalom & Chodesh Tov, 
Rabbi Ben Kean

MESSAGE FROM RABBI KEAN

On behalf of Congregation Beth Abraham-Jacob, 
I would like to wish you and your family a meaningful and restful Shabbat.

I hope to see you soon at tefilah, a youth program, or a social event!

The fast of Shiva Asar B'Tammuz is observed this Sunday, which commences the period known as "Bein HaMetzarim" (lit. "between the straights"), culminating with Tisha B'Av. During this time, we should look for ways to mourn, commemorate, and connect to the losses and suffering of our ancestors throughout history - especially the loss of the Beit HaMikdash. This time also affords us an opportunity to heal and fix the faults of the past and aspire to a more perfect world with a restored Beit HaMikdash. 

We also ought to recognize during this time the blessing that is the State of Israel, through which so many of the blessings and prophesies of healing and redemption are fulfilled. May we merit to see (and help bring to fruition) the complete redemption soon.

Shabbat Shalom, 
Rabbi Ben Kean
