RECEPTION NETS THREE AMBULANCES FOR ARMDI th Congregation Shir Ti van (Traditional - Reform) Invites you to attend plain, to expound, to broaden our knowledge, and to help turn the spark into a flame. But not to be our in- termediaries or agents. As we continue our ap- proach to the High Holy Days during the month of Elul, we can use the message of Ki Tavo to encourage our reflec- tion upon what we have done or are doing to deepen our own learning and to find our own spark. We can assess our relationship with our rabbis, cantors and educators and begin to transform it from one of dependence based on "in- termediaryship" to one of an independence based on re- quiring them to "teach us the ropes." We can begin to undertake more responsibilities related to the community and to our synagogue. And, in our own turn, we can help to write the stones for others to read, in plain language, so that they, too, can begin to shoulder the beautiful responsibilities of being a Jew. ❑ "'"1 SYNAGOGUES Im• Selichot Program > At B'nai David Congregation B'nai David will hold a special Selichot night program on Aug. 31.
