A tenor, a baritone, and a soprano walk into a Zoom concert. Is it a murder of crows? A gaggle of geese? No! It's a concert of cantors! The CAS Programming Committee invites you to a one-of-a-kind musical event Sunday, January 31 at 4 PM. There's no football that day, so nothing should keep you from enjoying this fabulous concert.
In addition to our own Hazzan Jeffrey Weber (the tenor), we will be hearing from Hazzan Asa Fradkin (the baritone) of Congregation Beth El in Bethesda MD, and Cantor Sheri Allen (the soprano) of Congregation Beth Shalom in Arlington.
These three amazing vocalists will entertain us via Zoom with solos and combined choral numbers. We will delight to Broadway show tunes, thrill to a melodic opera aria, kvell over Hebrew music, and tap our feet to some pop numbers. This promises to be a concert we will talk about for a long time. Zoom pre-registration will be required, so stay tuned for that information.
Hear from Rabbi Bloom via Zoom about "Rougarou and Religion: How the Bible Debunked, Suppressed, or Changed Ancient Myths and Legends." Mark your calendar! You won't want to miss this.

Please read The Lost Shtetl: A Novel. What if there was a town that history missed? For decades, the tiny Jewish shtetl of Kreskol existed in happy isolation, virtually untouched and unchanged. Spared by the Holocaust and the Cold War, its residents enjoyed remarkable peace. It missed out on cars, and electricity, and the internet, and indoor plumbing. But when a marriage dispute spins out of control, the whole town comes crashing into the twenty-first century.
Author Max Gross will join us via Zoom for a lively discussion. See you online!
The High Holy Days showed us how well webinars can work. But they require behind-the-scenes volunteers to operate the computer which controls the camera feeds. If you would be interested in being trained and helping in this vital service, please contact Steve Gratch or Pattie Wood.

We further are committed to integrating all of our members into a warm and caring community based around the philosophy of "all Israel (in this case our community) being responsible one for each other." (Babylonian Talmud, Shavuot 39a)
