CONGREGATION BETH SHALOM • NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS • 847-498-4100 • WWW.BETHSHALOMNB.ORG 6 Engaging with our Inner Prayers on Yom Kippur Every year gather to wrestle with our inner selves and to consider how it is that we might approach the New Year. One wishing to connect with God on this auspicious day offers words of tradition but can also offer words of one’s conscience and heart. When people travel to it is common for them to visit the Kotel, the , and it is quite normal that they place a kvitel, a small piece of paper on which one pens a petitionary prayer, in a crevice of the Kotel as a “note to God”. We wish to invite every member of CBS to do likewise for the High Holidays this year. This personal act of ‘letter writing to God’ is an added gesture of petition which enhances one’s opportunity to reach out to God in a new way. Please complete your personal note either online or the one attached here by Friday, September 25th, which we will then place in the Ark. These notes shall remain in the Ark until after the holiday of Sukkot, when one’s complete Judgment by God is said to be finalized. After that time we will respectfully encase these notes in a container and bury them in our CBS Genizah outside of the Winter Garden. Our CBS Clergy will personally be collecting your Kvitel on Shuvah, Friday, September 25th between 4:00 - 5:30 pm at the CBS main entrance circle drive so that they may personally place it in the Ark for you this year. May God seal you and your loved ones in The Book of Life.

The High Holidays are ever so dear, No matter at home, or in your shul chair. This year though apart, we still feel so close, But who’s that I see, with your masks covering your nose. The tunes are familiar, the prayers all the same, The shofar will sound, and with no one to blame If the room is too cold, or too hot, or just right, We’ll come back Day Two and again Yom Kippur Night. The hush of the choir will echo so clearly, In your minds and your ears, we’ll miss it sincerely. and Hayom will sound empty, Without your sweet voices adding a’plenty. The Sermon will move you, the lessons you’ll keep, And follow its precepts, until maybe next week. It’s a year when we all, need to remain, As members of CBS so we can retain, Our programs, and classes and services of good, Help our School and our Youth Groups to do all that they should. Yes this year will be different, but we’re here to stay, So join us, we promise to share happier days. The promise of tomorrow, is seeded right now, So be strong and resilient, we shall get through this somehow. Shana Tova to you and your families, We’ll see you on Zoom, davening in your jammies. An original poem by Cantor Steven Stoehr
