TONIGHT’S SERVICE LEADERS Service Leader: Rabbi Jo Hirschmann Ba’al Tefillah: Cantor Steve Zeidenberg, Steven M. Fruh-Paul L. Marsolini Cantorial Position Drashah: Rabbi Yael Rapport COMPOSER FEATURE Hanna Tiferet-Siegel (Born 1948), who composed tonight’s setting of Mi Chamocha, is a singer and songwriter who received ordination as a Jewish Renewal rabbi in 2003 from Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. She co-founded Congregation Or Shalom in Vancouver, British Columbia, and served as co-spiritual leader at Congregation B’nai Or of Boston. She has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada, leading workshops, Shabbatonim, and as an artist-in-residence. She has released eight CDs of original Hebrew and English melodies to accompany the entire sphere of Jewish ritual and lifecycle ceremonies.

Psalms/Tehillim Project In Judaism, it is traditional to recite Psalms/Tehilim in times of fear, in times of mourning, in times of calamity, and even in times of joy and celebration. We are launching a Psalms/Tehilim Project to respond to the moment in history in which we find ourselves. As a congregation, we will recite the entire book of 150 Psalms each day with each person taking on the responsibility of one Psalm. We will begin the community-wide recitation on Rosh Hodesh Elul, which is 30 days before Rosh Hashanah—this year August 12. If you want to join this project (non-members are welcome), email Tasha Calhoun at [email protected] with Psalms/Tehillim Project in the subject line. You can choose a psalm that is meaningful to you or ask the CBST clergy to choose one for you.

The Michaels Papers

We are proud to announce that the papers and oral history from CBST member Sheila Michael, z”l, have been accepted for archival at the University of Southern Mississippi’s Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage. The inclusive dates of the collection are 1960-2001. Of special interest in the collection are Michael’s role in the adoption of “Ms.”
