High Holiday Seating Focus Groups
Members are invited and encouraged to attend a Focus Group to further discuss the question of CSAIR High Holiday seating. Within these groups, we will have the opportunity to listen to each other and share our views, experiences and thoughts. How can we best fulfill our mission of "nourishing joyful and meaningful Jewish learning and build an inclusive community" - what seems most inclusive, most inviting and comfortable so that the focus can be on davening and be a spiritual, uplifting experience along with friends, family and the bigger CSAIR community? It is an opportunity to respectfully explore this together, acknowledging passions, traditions & strong feelings exist around this question. There are six opportunities to come to a focus group.
We want to hear from people who like the idea of a change, those who don't, and those who just want to hear/ask questions.

Programming & Education
Learning for adults, teens and youth
Printed Guide
Why attend a class, program or service? Rabbi Yehoshua ben Perachya offers one rationale. Speaking to Jews in the second century BCE, he said, “Find yourself a teacher and make a friend.” (Avot 1:6) It is still good advice. So often today, people list loneliness and lack of community as some of the biggest challenges in their lives. We chose Rabbi Yehoshua’s words as the theme for this year’s education and programming book for this reason.
