CONGREGATION AGUDATH ISRAEL



and creating, I am very proud to
wer of Jewish Life, Together
J y their team: Ami Talkow, Barbara Sebiri, Derek Fields, Elliot Tobin, Melissa Sobel, and Sharon Zucker, we are now positioned to begin a process of strategic planning and visioning that will launch CAI into its next generation.
This one, easily memorizable line, is a distilled articulation of a longer form “vision statement” and five core values that have and will guide our priorities as a congregation. There are two visual themes throughout this report. The first is different pathways, which are a symbolic representation of our belief that there are many different ways to pursue the goals of our mission. We invite you to discover your path towards joy, purpose, and power together with your fellow community members. The second theme is joy, which is seen in the faces of our congregants embodying these ideals in the beautiful photographs on the pages that follow.
The Jewish people have a mission statement called the Torah. We review it, study it, and try to live by it every week - year after year. A good mission statement is a useful tool to guide decision-making, increase engagement, and articulate our core values to ourselves and the broader community. As with the Torah, putting words on a page (or a computer screen) is the easy part. The hard part is thinking about how this statement will be put into practice. That’s the work of this next phase of synagogue leadership.
On a personal level each of us might think about how we can contribute to making this mission a reality. How can I discover the joy, purpose, and power of Jewish life this year together with the CAI community? Since we are observing the High Holy Days, what if we did a heshbon ha-nefesh - a spiritual accounting of how we’ve lived up to the values: Torah and Mitzvot, treating everyone as being created in the image of God, creating a community of belonging, responsibility for the Jewish people, commitment to justice. What if we all set goals in each of these areas for the year to come? Might that help us discover more joy, purpose, and power through Jewish life, together? I hope so.
Wishing you a joyful, purposeful, and powerful new year and may we all be privileged to be sealed in the book of life, together.
As we begin 5785 and prepare for a year filled with programs and activities, I reflect on my first year as president of Congregation Agudath Israel. We entered this year with strong momentum as we officially exited the Covid period. We found joy in being back in the building to meet, pray, and socialize in person. We were back to normal levels of programming, and our classrooms were trending toward pre-Covid levels. We also continued to utilize the technological advancements made during the pandemic period to offer the streaming of services, online classes, and virtual programming to maintain our connections with those unable to join in person.
Then, on October 7, we suddenly pivoted from celebration to sadness. But then we quickly pivoted again from sadness to action. In my Yom Kippur address last year, I asked that everyone try a new program, event, or join a committee at CAI - and you showed up! We marched together in Washington, D.C. and New York City. We traveled to Israel together on several missions, filled the sanctuary for our Annual Concert and Comedy Night, and showed up in force to other flagship programs such as Super Bowl Shabbat and the Purim Carnival.
Over 250 of our members participated in the mission statement process, filling out surveys or attending parlor meetings to share their vision for CAI. Your contributions led to the creation of our new Mission Statement that will guide us for years to come. The October 7 attack on Israel and the dramatic rise in antisemitism made it a difficult year for all of us. However, your commitment helped to provide the CAI community with opportunities to discover the joy, purpose, and power of Jewish life, together. Thank you!
While acknowledging that each president of CAI faces unexpected challenges during their term, and the Board of Trustees may face additional challenges in the coming year, I am excited to enter 5785 with you and I am grateful to be able to lead this incredible, warm, diverse community. In partnership with you, I am confident that we will approach these challenges head on, thoughtfully, and with transparency. Together, we can ensure that Congregation Agudath Israel goes from strength to strength.
Wishing you and your families a Shanah Tovah!

There are a multitude of ways that we can bring joy, purpose, and power to our Jewish experiences in the coming year, whether in our synagogue building or throughout our community.
There is a strong expression of joy in the voices that make up the CAI choir and we hope to share this joy with the entire congregation. The melodies they sing bring us all together and the experience of our voices joining in song and prayer is an incredibly powerful experience. For me, harmony is Hiddur Mitzvah/הוצמ רודיה, Beautifying the Mitzvah of Worshiping God. It's one of many ways that we connect with each other and the Divine, which is both purposeful and powerful.
The greatest display of joy can be found in the faces of parents and grandparents while their child is leading a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah service. These joyful feelings are also an important aspect of every Jewish lifecycle event, from a bris or baby naming to an Aufruf or wedding. All of these milestones happen year-round in our CAI community and with 800+ member households that's a lot of joy! Of course, these celebrations also have significant purpose - they are an integral part of our Jewish continuity, the continuation of Our People.
Although it is not a joy to show up at a Shiva - your presence has both purpose and power. Being there, together, face to face, is the balm that helps the mourner recover - even if it's a tiny bit. In the daily Amida, we call God the Rofei/אפור, Healer, and we are to emulate God. What a purpose – helping others heal during their grief.
Wishing you and your families a Shanah Tovah! May we continue to grow and discover as a community finding the joy, purpose, and power of our Judaism in the new year!
During my 42 years as Senior Rabbi of CAI, as was true in outstanding leadership by Rabbi Morris Werb z”l (1939-19 agenda was guided by the clarity and comprehensive natu Mission Statement. This statement reflected the diversity “all ages and stages” of a synagogue established in 1921, w to grow and thrive. The mission served us well, as we evolved from three dozen households to 325 amid the “Werb Era”, and then to 850 during my tenure as Rabbi.
As we head into the future, led skillfully by Rabbi Lucas and his team, the new CAI Mission Statement will keep us focused upon the full range of interests, needs, hopes, and commitments of our multi-generational membership. Reflective of excitement and optimism, a high percentage of congregants of all ages responded to the committee’s outreach for input and priorities. The new statement enthusiastically embodies the community consensus as it moves effectively in meeting the challenges of our second century as a sacred community. May we continue to ascend from strength to strength.
Rabbi-in-Residence
One of my cherished teachers in Rabbinical School told my “Love Jews more than Judaism.” I recognized this piece of w because when I studied at the JTS Rabbinical School as a m forties, I had been a member of CAI for twenty years. Our sy g g y been about embracing the people who come through the doors. We love the deep joy and meaning-making offered by the practice of Judaism, but we truly love our people even more.
Our updated Mission Statement reflects this CAI truth: we are about nonjudgment, inclusivity, and the power of love. As the statement boldly affirms, we are meant to discover the joy, purpose, and power of Judaism together. What is it that Judaism teaches that our CAI family discovers together in every class, holiday dinner, ECC celebration, Religious School social action project, Shabbat service, and parking lot conversation? Simply that every individual - Jews and the people who love Jews, are Godly…are beloved…are pure potential to change the world for the better, when we do it together.
In the face of today’s difficult and often frightening realities, how blessed we are to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, a community that manifests joy, purpose, and power!

“Discovering” - what a wonderful word to start the new CAI Mission Statement. To seek discoveries as a member of our sacred community is to tap into sources of fulfillment, wonder, potential. During the High Holy Days and the beginning of the academic calendar, we feel charged with a quest to discover ways to approach the new year. How will 5785 shape who I am, what my family will be, how my community will grow? What new talents, interests, and learning will I pursue?
My own search for discovery is driven by a yearning to explore the treasures within and the gifts that surround me. After the adventure of discovery, gratitude follows. I am most grateful for being in a position to enable our congregants to embark on their own voyages of learning and revelation. The programs of the CAI Education Department lead participants to encounter new areas of interest or develop fresh ideas on old ones. We welcome the inquisitive toddlers, the curious elementaryage youngsters, the questioning adolescents, the searching college students, and adults who are seeking to enhance their knowledge and cultural and religious life. I am grateful my team and I can offer many “Hallelujah Moments” - opportunities to learn, to explore, to grapple, to wonder, and to grow together - and to reflect on the gratitude we feel for having made new discoveries.
May this new year be filled with discovering our strength, resilience, and gratitude as part of this sacred community. Shanah Tovah!
Joy isn't just a fleeting emotion - it's the "save button" for our experiences. When we encounter moments of happiness and delight, our brains are more likely to store these experiences in long-term memory, creating lasting impressions that shape our lives.
The importance of joy in creating meaningful experiences is recognized in our Jewish traditions. Holidays are often accompanied by the phrase "moadim l'simcha," which translates to "times of joy." This deliberate association of festivities with happiness helps ensure that these significant events and their meanings are remembered and cherished for years to come.
Educators, particularly those working with young children, can harness this power of joy. In early childhood classrooms, creating an environment filled with fun, laughter, and positive experiences doesn't just make learning enjoyable in the moment - it lays the foundation for lifelong joy and positive association with Judaism.
As we welcome a new school year and a month full of holidays, may we all be blessed to have joyful children surrounded by joyful experiences in our Lerner ECC. And may those experiences ensure that the joy of Judaism be internalized and stay with them for the rest of their lives.
A joyful new year to all!

When we agreed to co-chair the Mission Statement Task Force in the summer of 2023, we were unaware of the events that would occur a few months later on October 7. Given the significant changes in the global Jewish landscape over the past year, we felt compelled to ensure the future of our community by defining what CAI stands for, our hopes for the future, and ultimately, why we exist.
Along with our task force members, who represent distinct cohorts within our community, we leveraged internal and external resources, conducted surveys, and held workshops and focus groups, ultimately receiving input from more than 250 congregants and staff members. We are so appreciative of their willingness to participate in an open conversation about our community.
As we translated our learnings into the Mission Statement, we were particularly influenced by Rabbi Lucas’s Purim communication, where he shared, “Joy in Judaism is not the same as feeling happy or experiencing pleasure. Joy is a deeper connection to some greater meaning of purpose.” Another key theme that influenced our work was a sense of deep connection and responsibility - to each other, to Israel, and to the Jewish people. And so, amidst a year of heightened sensitivity and passion within the Jewish community, we were fortunate to be able to focus on the blessings, support, and sense of home that we are privileged to feel at CAI.
We are grateful to so many of you: our task force, for their dedication to the effort; our clergy, staff, Executive Board and Board of Trustees, for their support along the journey and for their enthusiasm in adopting the new Mission Statement. As we embark on a new year, we look forward to “Discovering the Joy, Purpose, and Power of Jewish Life, Together.”
Todah Rabbah and Shanah Tovah!
It has been a challenging year for the global Jewish community, with the war in Israel and the rise of antisemitism in the U.S. However, as Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z”l taught, “We can face any future without fear so long as we know that we won’t face it alone.” According to Rabbi Sacks, communities are integral to an individual’s overall well-being. I couldn't agree more. The power of community at CAI continues to be a source of strength, hope, and comfort now more than ever.
This year, CAI has provided a wide array of opportunities to connect and simply be together. Along with many of our congregants, I spent this past year immersed in our CAI community - singing together with our Artist-in-Residence Rabbi Josh Warshawsky, marching in solidarity at our Israel Walkathon and the Israel Day Parade, cooking and learning with Joel Chasnoff, spreading light during our community Hanukkah candle lighting, laughing together during our Annual Comedy Night, volunteering with fellow congregants during one of our CAI missions to Israel, dancing on Yom Ha-atzma'ut, commemorating Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron, and praying during Shabbat and holidays followed by eating and schmoozing at weekly Kiddush.
These shared experiences have helped me process the challenges and emotions of this time in our communal Jewish history. Together we are stronger, more powerful, and more resilient, renewing hope for the future. It is times like this that the value of being part of our community is crystal clear.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of all that CAI has to offer at every age and stage. As “community concierge” I am here to help you find your personalized connection and meaning at CAI. Step out of your comfort zone. Reconnect with old and new friends. It will enrich your life in ways that may surprise you. Please continue to spread the word about our incredible synagogue to your friends.
Wishing you and your families a peaceful and healthy new year, in which you seek to discover the joy, purpose, and power of the CAI community.
