Ambassador Dennis Ross in conversation with Rabbi Spitz at CBI on Sept. 17, 2017
Dear Friends,
Tomorrow we gather to mark Yom Kippur, 5778. I look forward to sharing services with you as a time for reflection, connection, and uplift.
Below are my sermons from Rosh Hashanah and an editorial by Dennis Ross, who visited us so recently.
This is my final written encouragement for you to consider hosting or joining a small group for five conversations on Born to Love: Why, How, and With Whom. More than any sermon, you will give me great satisfaction in knowing that the booklet that I prepared for you is being used for study and connection.
Wishes to you of a tzom kal- an easy fast!
Your rabbi, Elie

The booklet offers content and context for you to meet with friends to further your understanding of how love informs your life. We currently have over 40 groups. We need more. Please go to our website to sign up now.
