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- gregation."

That grew to a regular Sunday minyan attendance of about 30 people. The daily minyan is lay-led, although either Syme or Rabbi David Castiglione attend each minyan.
