Hard
to believe, but High Holidays will be here before we know it - only two
months away. So it's time for us to ramp up our planning - and one
very important element is to assign Torah portions for reading or
chanting. We already have some parts assigned to folks who have done
Torah before, but there are still parts available. We have a particular
need for readers or chanters on Rosh Hashanah Day 2 and Yom Kippur
afternoon, but we do have a few slots still available on Rosh Hashanah
Day 1 and Yom Kippur morning. We are especially interested in having
recent bar and bat mitzvahs come up and chant Torah. If you volunteer,
we will e-mail to you an MP3 of the Rabbi chanting the portion, plus a
written copy of the portion in Hebrew and English - and you can get help
from the Rabbi and Dawn in getting ready to chant. So if you (or your
son or daughter) are interested, please let Fred Andes know. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact Fred, at fandes@btlaw.com or 773/354-3100. Thanks - we look forward to seeing you all at High Holidays - and before!
