PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Members of CBI, The High Holidays are a time of thoughtful self-reflection when each of us has the opportunity to look inward and evaluate the past year and look for-ward to the year ahead. As we do, we rejoice in the blessings in our lives, understand where we fell short, and determine how, through our actions, we can all improve our lives and the lives of others in the coming year.
As you reflect and consider how you will use your valuable time in the new year I ask that each mem-ber of Congregation Beth Israel (CBI) consider how you might become more engaged in Temple activi-ties. Examples could be increased attendance at ser-vices, sponsoring an Oneg Shabbat, joining the study group, helping with Foodfest, assisting in the office, helping maintain the library, or participating on a CBI Committee. We would welcome your in-volvement in any way possible.
What has become evident to me in the first few months of my presidency is that we are a relatively small congregation that is very dependent on a core of volunteers to make CBI the vibrant organization it is today. I also recognize that the Board of Trus-tees is both excited and genuinely committed to en-sure we meet the increasing spiritual, educational and social needs of our congregants. Your help is needed to be successful. As member engagement increases in CBI, we will be able to do so much more to meet the needs of all of our CBI members.
With this in mind, I ask that during your High Holi-day reflections, you consider what action you will take this year to help build the CBI community through both increased participation in programs and activities and volunteering your valuable time, talent, and energy to help CBI meet the needs of all our congregants.
In closing, I wish all of you a healthy, prosperous and successful new year.
Shalom, Jim Gold

FAMILY CORNER Shalom Y'all, Even though we all hate to admit it, summer is officially over … school is back in session and so are our Family Shabbat Dinners! Please note the CHANGE OF DATE from Friday, September 9th to Friday, September 16th for our first dinner. Services will remain at 6pm with dinner to follow at 7pm. Don't forget to mark your calendars.
It's a New Year at the end of the month so why not make a resolution to join your CBI family by coming to Temple to welcome in Shabbat together and share a yummy meal too. If you are new to our community, it's a great way to make new friends and treat yourself to a night off from cooking!
All meals will continue to be “kosher style,” keeping dairy and meat separate. If you would like to join me in the kitchen to cook or have a favorite recipe you'd like to share, please email me and let me know.
Wishing all the kids many blessings for a great school year ahead and looking forward to breaking bread together on the 16th. L'Shana Tova to All, Leslie Green Programming Director email: [email protected]

SOME UNUSUAL FACETS OF THE HIGH HOLYDAYS So what are selichot services all about? “Selichot” is a Hebrew word that means “atonements” or “repentances.” You might prefer an English word, “Penitential,” that comes from the Latin word that also means “repentance.” Don’t let its connection to another English word, “penitentiary,” put you off. The idea of Selichot is to initiate the mood of the High Holydays a few days before Rosh HaShanah with a service that highlights the themes of the Ten Days of Repentance. In the same way that an athlete stretches and warms up before entering a competition, so in Judaism we think it’s a good idea to spend some preliminary time getting ready for the major holydays. So, you might think of Selichot as Jewish calisthenics, as a time to turn your thinking to the ideas that will be fea-tured only a few days later.
There is a second somewhat unknown and unusual service during the High Holydays. It is called “Tashlich,” which is a Hebrew word meaning “throwing” or “casting away.” The idea of Tashlich comes from a verse in the biblical prophet Micah which reads: “You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” So, we gather at the end of the Cole Park Pier at 5:30 PM on the day of Rosh HaShanah for a brief service and then a symbolic action – throwing our “sins” in the form of bread crumbs into the sea.
One other curiosity….You may recall that at the beginning of Rosh HaShanah evening’s service the Machzor (High Holyday Prayer Book) quotes a phrase from Leviticus 23:24: “In the seventh month on the first day of the month, there shall be a sacred assembly, a cessation from work, a day of commemoration proclaimed by the sound of the Shofar.”
It’s a fair question to ask why this is the seventh month when it is also the beginning of the new year. Would it not be better if it were the first month?
For the answer, we need to go back at least 2500 years in Jewish history. Before the year 587 BCE, the Jewish year began in the spring. The month of Nisan in which Passover falls was the first month. All the subsequent months were simply known by their number: 2, 3, 4…etc. There were good reasons why the year should start in the spring. After all, it is a time of rebirth and growth in the cycle of nature: crops sprout; animals give birth; mi-gratory birds swoop over the terrain of Judea on their way to summer homes; days are longer and the sun more comforting. In addition, Passover’s holyday marked the time when the Israelite nation was reborn from slavery to freedom and moved toward God, eventually to receive the revelation at Sinai. A spring new year acknowl-edged this novelty as well.
But in 587, Babylonian troops captured Jerusalem and took ninety percent of the Judean population into exile for about fifty years. While they were in exile, the Jews confronted a different concept of time. The new year there did not commence with the energy of the emergent spring, but with the conclusion of the harvest and the rest and rejuvenation that come with the fall and winter. When the exiles returned to Jerusalem in 538, they brought this new idea home with them and altered the calendar so the new year would begin where we have it today – on the first day of the seventh month. Unfortunately, the numbering of the months was already fixed, so they could not change that, which leads us to the anomaly that the first day of the year is in the seventh month.
It’s worth reminding ourselves that how we organize time is an artificial structure we impose upon nature. Yes, having the year begin in the fall is different than having the year begin in the spring. Both ideas have virtues to recommend them. But, in the end, both are human conventions and neither one is inherently better than the other.
WE WELCOME BACK YONINA CREDITOR
For the third year, Rabbi Yonina Creditor will lead our traditional services during the High Holydays. Rabbi Creditor is entering her final year at the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America in New York and will be ordained as a Conservative Rabbi next Spring. Rabbi Creditor has been accepted as a candidate for the Naval Chaplaincy and will enter her ac-tive duty career in service to sailors and marines shortly after her ordination. Please welcome Rabbi Creditor when you see her during the High Holydays.
THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT I was not in Corpus Christi on Saturday, July 28 when an incident occurred at the synagogue. Since my return, I have tried to find out as much of the truth as possible. Here is what I can tell you with considerable assurance. About 8:30 in the morning, Rose Garza, our wonderful custodian, noticed a strange man peering through the windows and ask-ing to come into the building. Rose indicated that the building would not be open for another half-hour. By that time, Lt. Pete Amador of the State Highway Patrol had come on duty as our guard. Lt. Amador interviewed the man and ascertained that, though he seemed strange, he was not armed and did not likely pose a threat. The man was admitted to services and afterwards to the Torah study session, where he stayed only about a half-hour. During the time he was in the building, Lt. Amador sta-tioned himself outside the Chapel and the Library, but nothing happened, and the man left peacefully. Early Sunday morning, the same man tried to hold up a Stripes store in Flour Bluff. He was holding a BB gun that looked like a .45 caliber pistol and threatening the clerk at the store and, eventually, the police who responded to the emergency call. When the man would not surrender and, in fact, approached the police with the weapon drawn, the police had no option but to open fire. The man did not survive his gunshot wounds. CBI spends a good deal of money every year on security, mostly to have a peace officer on guard whenever there are services or other large gatherings. Like any insurance policy, we are delighted not to have to use their services, but we are even more pleased when the very occasional situation arises and the guard can respond appropriately. We believe that Lt. Amador acted in a very proper and professional manner in this case. Our congregation always strives to reach an uncertain balance between welcoming everyone who comes and safety. Sometimes, it is very difficult to make the right decision, and that is why we have a trained officer on duty. Here are a few guidelines that may help you if you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation.
1. If you see something that makes you uncomfortable or suspicious, say something to the officer on duty. Vigilance is ba-sic. The police often know of conspiracies in advance, but a “lone wolf” like the man who came to CBI is less obvious. Because you know many of the folks who are supposed to come to the synagogue, you’ll be able to identify someone who does not fit in more quickly than the officer.
2. Let the officer act. That’s why we have them here. Do not try to intervene yourself.
3. Do not spread rumors. Instead, ask questions of someone in authority and get an accurate answer. (In this instance, some
people have asserted that the man was armed on Saturday; he was not.)
4. Continue your normal routine and activities. Above all, don’t panic.
5. Remember that our Board of Trustees takes our safety very seriously and is constantly reviewin plans, especially in the light of large events like the High Holydays and Food Fest. Officers and members of the Board and Rabbi Roseman will be happy to talk with you if you have any concerns or questions.
SELICHOT SERVICES ON SEPTEMBER 24 Selichot services will be held in the evening of Saturday, September 24. We shall begin with dessert and beverages in the Grossman Auditorium at 7:30 PM. After a brief social period, we shall watch the award-winning film, Praying in her own Voice, a documentary about the so-called “Women of the Wall.”
The Western Wall (sometimes called the Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem is one of Judaism’s special places for prayer. In-creasingly, ultra-Orthodox authorities have taken control of this sacred space and adopted regulations that are particularly antagonistic to women. A woman may only approach the Wall in a small segregated area; she may not wear a tallit or tefillin; she may not carry, open or read from a Torah. Women may not hold a group service near the Wall, especially if they are liberal or Reform Jews.
The Women of the Wall are a group of religious, but liberal women who courageously challenge these impositions. The film depicts their struggle to gain equal religious rights for themselves as women and for themselves as non-Orthodox Jews. It is a powerful statement about religious discrimination in today’s world.
Following the film (probably just before 9:00 PM) we shall hold the actual Selichot service in the main sanctuary. We cordially invite everyone to join for these spiritually exalted and uplifting moments of prayer, The service will conclude about 9:45 PM.
SISTERHOOD REPORT
Sisterhood started our year with a fun party at Bleu Frog Mercantile. We had a nosh and toasted the year ahead. Thank you to those who were able to attend. We are currently working on details for the High Holidays. At the same time, Food Fest preparations are well under way. Catherine Susser and Laura Hausman are hard at work planning for this wonderful event.
On behalf of your Sisterhood board, we wish you and your family very happy and healthy new year.

92Y LIVE BROADCASTS RESUME THIS MONTH CBI is a subscriber to the network that has access to the wonderful speakers’ forums of the 92nd Street YMHA-YWHA of New York City. Through our satellite connection, we are able receive programs that oth-erwise would never be available in our community, ask questions during the live broadcast and then spend a few moments socializing, “noshing” and sharing our impressions of the speakers. We continue to be very grateful to the members of CBI who helped make this outstanding series of programs possible. Our Fall 2011 series begins on Tuesday, September 20 at 7:00 PM when Jeremy Ben-Ami and Peter Beinart discuss A Progressive Vision for Israel. These two influential and provocative speakers will address efforts to secure a safe and democratic future for the Jewish homeland, what it means to be “pro-Israel,” the creation of a viable Palestinian state and the need for strong American direction to lead toward a peaceful resolution of the present conflict. This is a point of view that is not often heard in the mainstream American or Jewish media, and it will surely provoke significant discussion among those who gather for the program. We’ll continue with a second program on Wednesday, November 2 at 7:00, when Israel’s Chief Rabbi, Meir Lau, articulates his perspective in conversation with Ron Prosor, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations. On Monday, November 28, at 7:15 PM, our series moves forward with a fascinating program entitled Finding a Lost Tribe of Israel: The Bnei Menashe of India. Last year’s documentary about the Jews of Kaifeng, China was a real hit; we expect this sequel to be of equal or greater interest. Finally, we turn to Associate Justice Stephen Breyer of the U.S. Supreme Court, who will discuss a variety of issues relating to Making Our Democracy Work. Given the turmoil that we have witnessed in our nation’s capitol, this insider’s perspective on the institutions of government is a must-see program. All of these programs will take place in the Main Sanctuary at CBI and will be followed by light refresh-ments in the Grossman Auditorium. Everyone is cordially invited to attend; there is no charge.
9/11 TO BE COMMEMORATED A large interfaith coalition has planned a service for Sunday, September 11, 2011 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Trade Towers, the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pennsylvania. The service will be held at the First United Methodist Church on Shoreline Blvd. at 6:00 PM, and we urge every-one to attend. Mayor Adame will present a proclamation from the City.
Equally important, you received a blue folder describing a unique program by which we plan to remember the tragic events of 9/11/2001 and make the sacrifice of the victims as meaningful as possible. We (and the other congregations) are asking our members to engage in projects that will benefit the community of Corpus Christi in the name and in the memory of those who died and those who suffered their loss. If you have not already signed up for one of these projects, you are encouraged to review the list and make a commitment.
At CBI on the evening of Wednesday, September 7 at 6:00 PM, a group will gather to assemble personal care packets for the clients of the Good Samaritan Mission on Staples Street. This simply involves taking one of each item and filling a zip-lock bag. In addition, a crew will be in our kitchen baking brownies and chocolate chip cookies, since the folks who run GSM have found that a sweet taste offsets the craving for other addictive substances. With our commercial-sized kitchen, we ought to be able to generate quite a few calories!

MIKE TRIMYER Many members of Congregation Beth Israel remember with great fondness Sgt. Mike Trimyer of the CCPD. Mike stood guard at our door for more than ten years, keeping us safe, but also offering a helping hand to elderly members of the congre-gation, flashing a welcome smile and extending a hearty greeting when we arrived and when we left.
You may also recall that Mike retired from the CCPD and left his post at CBI in the Spring of this year because his wife, Jeannie, was suffering from a chronic disease of her lungs. A lung transplant was her only option, and Mike voted to take care of his beloved wife.
Early in July, she received one new lung, and, for the first few days, everything looked good. Then the un-thinkable happened, and she began to decline, finally into a persistent coma. Rabbi and Phyllis Roseman drove to Houston to offer Mike the support of the congregation, just as the physicians were deciding to remove the heart-lung machine and see if she could function without it.
It is with great regret that we inform you that Jeannie Trimyer passed away on August 4th. A memorial service to honor Jeannie's life and memory was held Sunday, August 21, 2011 at Memory Gardens Funeral Home. If you wish to send your condolences to Mike Trimyer, his address is: P.O. Box 10341 Corpus Christi, TX 78460-0341.
Richard Allen Fenster, 69, of Las Vegas, passed away July 7, 2011, after coura-geously battling Stage IV kidney cancer for over two years. He was born May 25, 1942, in San Antonio, and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is the son of former
Don’t forget . You can remember a friend or relative with a minimum contribution of $5.00 to one of our many funds.
