How do we create a place where people November 21 can relate to each other, to the greater Jewish community, to Is- Vayetze rael, to Torah, and to God? Here is a selection from that sermon: November 28 A synagogue is a Beit Tefilah – literally a “House of Prayer.” Vayishlach Jews want to talk to God, to relate to God. I am well aware that many Jews who come to synagogue do not come to talk to God. It was the wonderful Jewish Torah Discussion/ humorist Sam Golden who probably said it best. Someone asked him, “Why do Bible & Bagels you go to synagogue? You don’t believe.” He answered, “You’re right. I don’t Immediately following believe. Now Garfinkel, he believes. He goes to synagogue to talk to God. Me? Services I go to synagogue to talk to Garfinkel.” I think that is the reason many of us go to synagogue services. We don’t necessarily believe in God. But we want to be Daily Minyan and with friends, with others, with our fellow Jews. Fresh Brewed Coffee Still, prayer services are central to synagogue life. And I am very proud of some- Become a Minyanaire thing we do here that is not done in the majority of Conservative synagogues around Do the Mitzvah of assisting the country. We have a minyan, a service here 365 days a year, every morning and your friends and family as they every night. Occasionally we struggle but usually we get a minyan, the ten adult say Kaddish.

And mourners know that they can come here every Monday - Friday at 7:45 am morning and every evening if they choose, in order to say kaddish for their loved followed by coffee and ones. And many of those mourners, when their eleven months of kaddish are a shmear finished, keep coming. They know that there will always be new mourners, and Brief Mincha at 6:00 pm those new mourners will need a minyan. As others were there for them, so they Sunday - 8:30am and 5:00pm Saturday evening – check want to be there for others. calendar What about Shabbat? I love our Shabbat services. Friday night we gather to sing through the prayers. The mood is informal. When the hour long service is over, we gather around a table to make Kiddush, drink wine, and say a hamotzi. Join our Greeters Sometimes we stay for Shabbat dinner, but other weeks we go home to enjoy Shabbat with our families. I love our Erev Shabbat services. But I have noticed a Corps problem. There was a time when a lot of young children came. Of late I see fewer Consider volunteering to be a Greeter. We and fewer children. I have asked young families why.

A crucial piece of this vision has been to make more visible to an international audience the rich research collections concerning Jews in the vari- ous archives and libraries on the Austin campus. We have prepared this guide to promote the use of these resources by both students and scholars based not only in Austin, but also elsewhere in the United States and around the world. Someone not familiar with the University of Texas may find astonishing the depth, breadth, and importance of these materials. Available for research are resources like the papers of Jewish writers, including Isaac Bashevis Singer, Arthur Miller, and Nor- man Mailer, local history collections of the Texas Jewish Historical Society, exten- ROBERT H.

The essay discusses the many difficulties experienced by cantors in his time, especially the ones who had not be educated. In Szerman’s opinion, the only way to ease the burden – especially the financial burden – was to create a class of educated and professional cantors. The many customs of Polish Jewry that are forgotten today have been annotated as well as basic biographical data on highly influential earlier cantorial masters. Introduction The role of the cantor, or khazan in Hebrew and khazn in Yiddish, is to recite the often very lengthy and rather wordy liturgy. The cantor essentially prays on behalf of the congregation (the Hebrew title Shliach Tzibbur means exactly that), many of whom cannot read Hebrew, and before the printing press even fewer had a prayer books at all. The worshiper needed only to respond “Amen,” to the blessing recited by the cantor to have fulfilled the mitzvah (commandment) of prayer. Unlike a Catholic priest, a cantor or rabbi need not be of some special category: anyone with a decent moral character, Jewishly literate, and had a pleasant voice can serve as khazan.
