Founded in 1973, the 1150-member congregation made the decision to hire a rabbi after more than a year of study and discussion by the congregants and the Board of Trustees. "Our continued growth, the diversity of our members and the increasing need for counseling and spiritual guidance in this time of the AIDS crisis have created the desire among the Board and the congregation for a full-time rabbi to provide pastoral care and spiritual leadership," explained Arthur Leonard, co-chair of the Rabbi Search Committee. "We believe that this position offers a unique opportunity to a progressive rabbi who would enjoy the challenges and rewards our synagogue has to offer," added Rosanne Leipzig, the Committee's other co-chair. Since CBST is an unaffiliated synagogue, the congregation welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. The congregation is seeking an ordained rabbi with a minimum of two years of pulpit experience and a willingness to share the pulpit with lay leaders. Until now, congregants at CBST have conducted all services, and men and women participate on an equal basis. The congregation has adapted traditional liturgy and a wide spectrum of religious and cultural observances in order to meet the diverse needs of its members.

From May until July I lost twenty pounds and by the time I left for Israel both my legs had picked up some severe reaction to something. One of the drugs which my doctor prescribed gave me a hallucigenic reaction and for a couple of weeks I lost all bearings - barely making it through the Shabat service when I observed yahrzeit for my father. Now, at least, my weight is stablized - although I must start a tremendous effort to regain weight and I am on a maintance dosage of cordisone until I return to New York. The doctor here said he never saw anything like what has attacked my legs and after hearing the total situation suggested admittance into a hospital for two-three months of test. That isn't feasible, but testing will begin once I return. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document CBST FEMINIST PROGRAMMING ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• FEMINIST PROGRAMMING: A RE-INTRODUCTION CBST is 18 years old, CBST's Feminist Programming is 6 months old; Maze! Tov 10 both! We began re-introducing feminist programming to CBST just after the high holidays last year. As remarkable as the total numbers of people who attend our high holiday services (upwards of 1400 individuals), many do not return to CBST on a regular basis or do not get actively involved. CBST is a remarkable synagogue; it provides varied opportunities for leadership and involvement regardless of political or socioeconomic status. One third of our membership is women and through discussions with many we found some common thoughts. There is a need to deal with the issues beyond egalitarianism; women want a piece of our herstory (history), and want 10 learn and include more about Rebeccah's, Leah's, Ruth's, Naomi's, and Miriam's roles in Judaism. In addition, many women who belong to CBST do not know how to participate - either because they lack religious training or have not had the opportunity to share in religious rituals. CBST's Feminist Programming has begun 10 address some of these needs. Our objective is not solely lesbian outreach; many of those involved include feminist men as well! Our planning is based on integrating feminist programming in our synagogue. CBST's greatest strength is in its diversity and commitment to learning, growing and developing and meeting the needs of our members. We thank the Board of Trustees for their continued support and strongly encourage every to get involved in the diverse programs you see written about here. Join us! SHABBAT SERVICES The CBST Feminist Shabbat Service is an eq,loratory, alternative minyan open to different forms of prayer and dedicated to creating a participatory environment. We emphasize the various uses of God images and language and we use new and exisring liturgy as we explore prayer and song. We develop and build these services together with no pre-requisite beyond an inleral in learning and sharing together. We make no assumptions within the confines of the Feminist Service. We teach and we learn together as we travel through the celebration of Shabbat. We sit in a circle, facing each other and we sing much of our service. Monthly participation has ranged from 50 10 76 and the service is attended by men as well as women. Come join us in prayer, in thought, and in song on 8/16, 9/20, 10/18, 11/15 and 12/20 at 6:30p. LITERARY GROUP Those who allend C.B.S.T.'s monthly feminist literary group have different religious upbringings and education. Some are just beginning to explore what it means to be both a feminist and a Jew, while others have been anempting 10 reconcile their feminism with their Judaism for many years. What brings this diverse group of individuals together is a strong desire 10 learn more about feminis1 Judaism as well as to share the struggles and joys of learning in a supportive, intellectually stimulating atmosphere. So far, the group has focused on Judith Plaskow's landmark book, Standing Again at Sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective. The book, divided into sections on Torah, Israel, God, Sexuality, and Repair of the World, has inspired lively conversation which includes participants' personal narratives as well as reactions to and questions about Plaskow's ideas. Upcoming meetings are 8/23, 9/27, 10/25, 11/22 and 12/13 at 6:30p. ROSH CHODESH: WOMEN'S LIFE CYCLE CELEBRATIONS A group of four women first met in January of 1991 to discuss the possibility of creating a space for women to discuss the paths and stages of our lives as they relate to us as Jews. Out of that discussion evolved the CBST Rosh Chodesh Group (the only lesbian Rosh Chodesh group in existence) - a monthly Jewish celebration of women's life cycle events. Rosh Chodesh, the celebration of the new moon, has throughout the history of the Jewish people been a special holiday for women. Legend has it that women were honored with this holiday because our foremothers did not participate in worshipping the golden calf. Since that time, Jewish women have refrained from work on that day. The past six Rosh Chodesh celebrations have dealt with such topics as menstruation and menopause, coming out as a lesbian, childbirth, the lives of our mothers and grandmothers, loss and grieving, and death and rebirth from a woman's perspective. We also create new rituals that help us find new ways of relating to God. The celebrations are scheduled for 8/21, 9/11, 10/16, 11/20 and 12/18 at 7:30p. Please join us. ANTHOLOGY READING Adrienne J. Smith's reading of "First Of All I'm Jewish, The Rest Is Commentary", her contribution to the anthology Lesbians At Midlife: The Creative Transition, elicited responses of affirmation and understanding from many of the more than 35 women and men who attended an evening of readings from the book at CBST on Thursday night, June 20th. The audience was treated to a sampling of diverse voices sharing their perspectives on lesbian midlife, including Ronnie Lesser, who reported on the lesbian baby boom and lesbians not choosing parenthood; Clare Coss, who gave us insights on the advantages and disadvantages of the single status and Joyce Warshaw, a CBST member and one of the three editors, who shared her personal experience of her mothers aging and death. A lively discussion period followed the authors' presentation. Lesbians at Midlife which includes prose, poetry, first person accounts and research articles is by mid-life lesbians but is for all lesbians their friends and families.
