I am happy to write that we have made significant progress toward our goal! By cutting costs and streamlining the management of our buildings and grounds, we had a balanced budget for the first time in years. We also launched the first of our planned fundraising efforts, the Abraham Touro Society. By enrolling 100 charter members in the Society, we will raise $1,000,000! We have not solved our problems by balancing our budget one year or by doing some fundraising, but we have embraced the challenge and are taking significant steps toward our goal of adding $8,000,000 to our endowment. Working together, we will succeed. The future of the synagogue is in our hands! Nevertheless, despite the constraints, I think that I speak for all of us when I express my pride and pleasure at being a member of this congregation. The thread of history that connects all Jewish people is especially strong at Touro Synagogue. Sitting in the ladies gallery, I often think about the women who sat there before me. They range from 18th century colonial congregants such as Reyna Hays Touro and Sarah Rivera Lopez to 19th and early 20th century members such as Annie Rosen and Dora Kusinitz Adelson, whose descendants are still members of the congregation today. These women and their families represent our past while young couples such as Michael and Sara Berman Pimental and the new congregant they will soon present to us are our future. My membership in the congregation makes me a part of the history, tradition and continuity that binds us all as members of the Jewish community here in Newport, throughout the United States and around the world. As we gather for the holidays in our magnificent, historic sanctuary and look out at our beautiful Patriots Park and the wonderful new Visitors Center, our hearts are full. Steve and I and Saul and Susan send you and your families our best wishes for the New לשנה טובה Year. Bea

2 P A G E 2 Fortunate is the Nation that knows the sound of the shofar. The symbols of Sukkot Message from the Rabbi T he Jewish year of 5771 will be approaching very shortly. O n T h u r s d a y September 9, we will hear the shofar sounded in our synagogue. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that the shofar has been blown in our synagogue for the past thirty days. The month prior to RH is dedicated to soul searching and repentance. Except for Sabbaths, everyday of the month of Elul includes the recitation of the 27th psalm as well as the blast of the ram s horn. It is impossible to enter the year 5771 without preparation and soul examination. For those of you who were not privileged to hear the shofar blasts during Elul, I would like to share some of my observations. It is appropriate to reflect on this past summer s Washington letter celebration. We achieved something of such great significance that we can only be pleased that it occurred. For the first time in several years, our three congregations, Newport, Philadelphia and New York were joined together in a major celebration. The rabbis of NY and Philadelphia enhanced our prestige by joining forces with us over the Washington letter weekend. Together we found great strength in numbers. We joined together as three synagogue families looking to each other for inspiration and clarity. The greatest danger facing our community is isolation. We cannot survive as a synagogue without others who care for our well-being. As such that special weekend is a mark of distinction for our congregation. It is noteworthy that this summer we had an infusion of spiritual activity and credit must go to two wonderful families who joined us for services Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Bob Book, Jay Schottenstein and their families showed us that we can pray with joy and enthusiasm. We must give them credit for joining us twice in a Sabbath, when the walk to and from their residences is quite far. Because of these wonderful families, we secured a minyan three times during the fast of Tisha B Av. Their input also made Selichot services most remarkable. The Book and Schottenstein families care enough about our synagogue to want us to attend and participate in a way that we have never done before. From the bottom of my heart, I thank these wonderful people for their inspiration. May G-d bless them and us in a very sweet and spiritual new year. Wishing the Touro family, its friends, and relatives all the very best during this coming year. Rabbi Eskovitz
