MARCH GREETERS
MESSAGE FROM RABBI ROSS
“Spirituality In Our Relationships: Hiding in Plain Sight” Wednesday, March 6, 7:00 PM In Person and on Zoom
Judaism calls attention to spirituality hiding in plain sight. For instance, the Motsi prayer before eating stirs gratitude for having what to eat. The Passover Seder encourages appreciation for freedom. And the teachings of Jewish thinker, Martin Buber, encourage us to recognize the goodness and importance of spending quality time with people. Judaism cultivates an awareness for food, freedom, relationships, and more, graces that hide in plain sight and would, without Jewish teaching and practice, otherwise pass unnoticed.
Buber’s Jewish spiritual classic, I and Thou, elevates the spiritual dimension of our interactions with others, and now celebrates more than 100 years since publication. I and Thou underscore the Jewish teaching that we show our love for God, as in the V’ahavta prayer, when we love one another -- our neighbor and the stranger – just as the Torah says.
This Jewish spirituality often hides in plain sight, overlooked in the busy daily routine. We just have to pay attention, and the spiritual blessings abound.
I’ll be discussing Buber’s work in “Spirituality in Our Relationships: Hiding in Plain Sight,” Wednesday March 6, 7 PM. I’ll draw from my recent book, A Year with Martin Buber: Wisdom from the Weekly Torah Portion, to illustrate. This program is sponsored by CMI's Brotherhood of Men and Women.
Amidst the sadness and challenge that surround us and our people, here and around the world, I am grateful for the opportunity to draw the positive from the well of Jewish teaching.
I hope you can join us.
Rabbi Dennis Ross
A Note From Cantor Giglio
I am excited to announce that this year’s Cantor’s Concert Fundraiser will be:
Two Cantors and Tevye in:
“A little bit of this, a little bit of that.”
Saturday Evening, May 18, 2024
This year I am bringing Broadway to CMI. We have not one but two Headliners! Our first is Michael Bernardi who starred as Tevye in the Broadway production of Fidder on the Roof. But why have just one Headliner when you can have two! My other Headliner is Cantor Deborah Jacobson an amazing, dynamic, and wonderful performer who always brings audiences to their feet. Last year we were blessed to hear her daughter Maya who was one of the “Mameles”. Maya is one of two apples from Deborah’s tree and you will get to see firsthand where Maya gets her talent! In case you are wondering, the second Cantor is going to be me, your one and only Cantor G. We will be presenting a swath of songs, duets, and trios from many different genres, it will be a joyous event!
Now some background on our Jewish Stars!
Michael Bernardi made his Broadway debut in the 2015 Revival of Fiddler on the Roof where he became the youngest person ever to play the role of Tevye on a Broadway stage. Since then, he’s acted in several films, directed several workshops, married the love of his life, Caitlin and is now the father of their beloved two year old son, Simon. TV credits include: Monk, Days of Our Lives, Law & Order: SVU. Film: Marshall, The House Bunny, Born to Be a Star!
Cantor Deborah Jacobson is a celebrated Cantor, Performer, and accomplished Author. Cantor Jacobson has led her signature ‘Shabbat Unplugged’ service as well as her concerts: ‘Bima to Broadway’ and ‘Broadway to Jerusalem’ in venues across the U.S., Australia and Singapore. She also has performed outside the synagogue world, including at the Van Wezel in Sarasota, FL, Palace Theater in Stamford, CT, Holocaust Museum in Tampa, Fl and at many Cabaret venues. Her 5 albums and performance selections are available on her website; www.cantordeborahjacobson.com and downloadable on streaming services. Her greatest honor is being mother to Maya and Shira Jacobson…and two cats, Oscar and Felix.
Remember to put a big mark on your calendar and save the date! You don’t want to be the one with concert remorse because you missed the evening everyone will be talking about! Invite your friends and family. It will be another Cantor’s Concert Fundraiser to remember. I look forward to seeing all your smiling faces in the audience on Saturday Night, May, 18th 2024!

Meeting the Moment Seminar Series - Session 3
Modern Antisemitism-What is different? What are implications for Judaism?
Sunday, March 10 at 9:00 a.m.
Leader- Dr. Liram Koblentz-Stenzler-Senior Researcher and Head of the Global Far Right Extremism Desk at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism at Reichman University, Visiting Lecturer at Yale University.
This session takes place at Temple Beth Sholom, 1809 Whitney Avenue, Hamden.
Adar I is a month that's known for its connection to joy. Understandably, joy may feel hard to access right now; it’s cold, dark, and the news can feel grim. And yet, in Jewish tradition, it is literally a mitzvah — a sacred obligation — to cultivate joy during this time of the year. How can we fulfill the mitzvah to be joyous?
Join us for an evening of sharing and cultivating joy. We ask that participants bring a short poem, reading, or song that brings you joy. Light snacks that make you happy are also welcome.
We’ll spend our time together this month in the joyous sharing of words and music that bring us happiness and inspiration.
RSVP to Michele Abrams if you’d like to join us.
