is far more common among
Conservative and Orthodox syna-
gogues to hold at least one daily
minyan, if not two.
Temple Israel annually sends a post-
card to members asking them to
attend the daily minyan, even if they
are not in mourning (a minyan is
required for the recitation of Kaddish).
Berlin reads from Torah on
Tuesdays and adds a d'var Torah dis-
course. Traditionally, Torah is read on
Monday, Thursday and Shabbat.
Temple Israel has a formal Torah read-
ing on Shabbat but not on other days.
Earlier this month, Temple Beth El
started a daily minyan, also from
Sunday to Thursday. In the shul's 150-
year history, there had never been a
daily minyan, according to Rabbi
Daniel Syme, because Beth El "was
established as a classical Reform con-

second week, the bar mitzvah class of
20 12-year-olds came to the minyan.
Now, they ask their parents to pick
them up later so they can daven with
the group on Tuesday afternoons, he
says. ❑

NEW SPRING ARRIVALS DAILY

"When I first came to Beth El
[about a year ago], the first thing we
did was to establish a Sunday morning
minyan, when a lot of people would
likely be in the temple because of
committee meetings and dropping off
their kids for religious school." That
grew to a regular Sunday minyan
attendance of about 30 people.
The daily minyan is lay-led,
although either Syme or Rabbi David

Mark Cousens, the attorney repre-

agreement, Fleischer's case will go
to an independent arbitrator.
