Upcoming HAZAK Events on Interactive Calendar
"It's like USY For the Over 62 Set"
Hazak is the
Conservative Movement's organization for mature Jews seeking camaraderie,
social interaction, intellectual stimulation, religious experience and, most
of all, FUN! !!
Twice
the CBE Hazak Chapter has won the USCJ Gold award for programming, and we
anticipate that this year's programs will be the best ever.
The
name Hazak means "Strong," and is also made up of the first Hebrew letters
of the words:
H ochmah:
Wisdom
Ziknah:
Maturity
Kadima:
Looking Ahead
Our monthly Hazak meetings
take place the third Tuesday of each month, 1-3 PM at Congregation Beth Emeth.
Meetings are a time to socialize, enjoy light refreshments together and
often listen to a guest speaker on a topic of interest to seniors. Generally
the meeting starts at 1 PM with the speaker scheduled for 1:30. We also have
holiday celebrations, theater trips and more!

Rabbi Leonard Cahan
Jewish Wedding Customs
Rabbi Leonard Cahan
is the Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Har Shalom in
Potomac, Maryland, where he served, until 2001, as the Senior Rabbi for 27
years.
Rabbi Cahan will guide us through the customs that characterize Jewish
weddings today, as well as others that have fallen by the wayside. He will
explore rituals that have grown up in the many different societies in which
Jews have lived, and the rich symbolism that has made them so appealing and
enduring. You won't want to miss this fascinating journey.
Hazak at CBE meets on the third Tuesday of every month from 1:00-3:00PM.
Light refreshments are served. Cost is $3.00 for guests; Hazak members
free.

FROM
GENERATION TO GENERATION
L’dor vador—from generation to generation—
I pass to you
Not the giddy joy of success,
But the lump in the throat the signals
The wisdom to speak softly in a fragile world.
Through these finger tips
Pass sensual gifts—
The feel of sand between the toes,
The eye that captures
The flight of the gull at sunset,
Take them, child of my child—
The ability to grow inside the mind,
To change, to forgive, to love.
Take them,
And when you grow old,
Bequeath them l’dor vador,
For these are the things that remain worthwhile,
That make life worth living.
