A word from Rabbi Resnick

Today marks the celebration of Tu B'Av, a very happy day on the Jewish
calendar.  It is both an ancient holiday and a modern one.

Originally a post-biblical day of joy, it served as a matchmaking day for
unmarried women in the Second Temple period – 

before the fall of the Temple in 70 CE.

It was almost unnoticed for many centuries, but it has been rejuvenated in
the last 20 years, especially within the State of Israel. Today it is
gradually becoming a Hebrew-Jewish Day of Love in Israel.

So perhaps tell those who love, that you indeed love them!

Happy Tu B'Av and Shabbat Shalom!

EDGE Reboot

Last year we kicked off our new discussion group, EDGE, with a series of
fine presentations, mostly related to presenters’ vocations. As we look
forward to another year of meetings, starting in September, we’d like to
focus more on the “eclectic” part of these Eclectic Discussion Group Events.

Would you like to present on your avocation instead of your vocation? How
about etymology and insects I have loved and lost? Why is Sir Isaac Newton’s
favorite song “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” and is it relevant today?  

Other possibilities: Jewish GIs in WWII; how breaking the enigma code
shortened the war, saving millions of lives; finding mushrooms that won’t
kill you and other food endeavors you’ve completed successfully. 

Or, best of all, a subject of your own choosing. 

With the Internet as your partner, trips to the library are unnecessary.

All ideas and offers are welcome by email or phone!

Please contact Jeff and Marian Freedman at  <mailto:jfreednj at aol.com>
jfreednj at aol.com or 908-754-7867.

Bike for the Jewish Future

Sunday, September 22

Help Send Kids to Jewish Camps

Tour de Summer Camps NJ is a community fundraising event organized by the
Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ with four amazing routes for
cyclists of all skill levels. Plus – Family Fun Day Activities!

Proceeds make it possible for more children across Greater MetroWest NJ to
have the life-changing experience of attending Jewish summer camp. Studies
show that summers spent at Jewish camp empower Jewish young people to become
spirited and engaged Jewish adults, thereby laying the groundwork for
strong, vibrant Jewish communities for future generations.

the bike rides or Family Fun Day events.

Yasher Koach to CBI congregants leading and participating in this effort,
including Susan Ratner (Event Co-Chair) and Brett Cohen, Ariel Dybner, David
