4) Participation Survey
Please take a moment to fill out Altshul’s annual participation
survey. The survey contains an opportunity to have your information
included in the Altshul community directory and to let us know how you
would like to contribute to Altshul in the coming year. There is no
need to fill out the survey if you filled out a paper copy at one of
the community meetings. Here is the link:

5) Implementation of Altshul Kids Policy:
In the spirit of the Altshul Kids Policy, developed by the steering
committee and announced at this year's community meetings and at our
November 14th davening, Altshul is adopting a few new practices. They
are:
1) A section of the room in which we daven is set aside for families
with children. When we meet in the Rabbi's office, that section is the
back two rows; in the chapel, it is the front of the room.
2) There are a few portions of the service when children are invited
to take a central role:
-- Children are invited to follow the torah as it is carried around
the room at the beginning of the torah service. Kindershul will begin
after the torah has been taken out.
-- Children are invited to help lead Adon Olam; parents are welcome to
join their children. In order to facilitate kids' ability to take on
this role, we'll be using the same tune for Adon Olam each week.
We hope that these small changes will help us to grow as a community
that meets the needs of all our members. Everyone is encouraged to be
a part of the ongoing conversation about kids at Altshul; please
contact members of the shamash team and / or the steering committee if
you have ideas, concerns, or questions.
CBE ANNOUNCEMENTS
6) Hannukah Party with CBE
Friday, December 18th
The entire CBE community is invited to a Hanukah Family Shabbat
Service on Friday, December 18th at 7pm in the Chapel. This is an
evening filled with Hanukah joy and song, featuring live music from
our Shabbat Musika band and a sing-a-long of our favorite Hanukah
songs. A festive oneg with lots of latkes and jelly doughnuts will
follow services, with time to sit and catch up with your friends and
share the holiday cheer. No RSVP necessary; this event is free and
open to the entire congregation. Please join us as we continue the
celebration through these 8 special nights! The Hanukah Singalong is
co-sponsored by Yachad and the Kehillah Project, a new initiative at
CBE.

7) Navah Tehila at CBE January 14th
Nava Tehila is a Jerusalem-based Jewish group that creates and plays
music to nourish the soul and stir the heart. Nava Tehila writes music
for verses from Jewish prayers, Psalms and the Song of Songs that
manage to bring alive and make personal the essence of these holy
texts. Their delightful music is influenced by east and west,
incorporating reggae, folk, Moroccan, Arabic and Hasidic touches
creating a heartfelt, ecstatic and deeply moving experience.
The group grew out of the musical Shabbat services held in Jerusalem's
Nava Tehila community for the past five years.
