Temple Beth El Supports
Our Troops
By Cantor Andrew Bernard
In January, while attending the
annual conference of the National
Association of Jewish Chaplains, I
was approached by Rabbi David
Goldstrom, an Army chaplain in
Texas, with a request. He asked if
it would be possible to put togeth
er a CD of the Friday evening
service that soldiers could listen to
on their CD players or download
onto their iPods. You see, this
chaplain is being deployed to Iraq
in the fall and would like soldiers
in the field to be able to have some
kind of Sabbath observance no
matter where they are. They
would also have a common reper
toire when he gathered with them
in larger groups in major Iraqi
cities, drawing soldiers together as
a community so far away from
their home congregations.
After discussions with our
Board, the professional staff and
Rabbi Goldstrom, we have decid
ed to make this a congregational
project. Temple Beth El will
proudly produce a CD of the
Friday night service that will be
used by our Jewish soldiers fight
ing in Iraq.
Everyone who would like to be
a part of this historic undertaking
will have an opportunity. The first
phase will occur on Friday
evening, May 18 at 8 PM when
we will record our Shabbat service
live. Instead of using Gates of
Prayer, we will pray out of the
Armed Forces siddur — a non-
denominational prayerbook.
Although the liturgy is a little dif
ferent, it will give us all a connec
tion with our brave soldiers in the
field.
Subsequently, we will record
some of the musical portions of
the service under more controlled
studio conditions in order to pro
duce the final product. I plan to
write arrangements of the Shabbat
evening songs to take advantage
of some of the wonderful musical
resources we have at Temple Beth
El.
How can you help? First, join
us on May 18 for our 8 PM Friday
