> Minutes of Steering Committee meeting 1-4-04
> Toni Dosik, Elliot Gaines, Jay Rothman, Nance Parent, Abi Katz-Stein,
Steve Green were present.
>
> 1) The Year of Shabbat: At the annual meeting one of the central themes
identified for the Havurah was a focus on Shabbat. Time was spent discussing
the significance and realization of this theme.
>
> It was generally agreed that the observance of Shabbat was the nexus of
the most significant issues currently facing the Havurah: The Torah,
Education, and Jewish Identity.
>
> Toni put it very succinctly when she said that for the Havurah Shabbat was
a "regular, systematic, binding force."
>
> 2) Education:
>
> Jay discussed an interesting evolution of the ongoing monthly study group.
The 5 currently active members were looking to re-focus the group by looking
for a theme and a text that would dovetail with other Havurah activities
surrounding Shabbat and the Torah. An invitation would also be made to any
other Havurah members who wished to join.
>
> Toni had another succinct comment in which she said that she was most
interested in "what does the torah teach us about how to live now."
>
> There was a general interest in learning more about the Shabbat service.
The 2 major areas of interest were the order and reason of the service and
the choreography of the service.
>
> 3) Shabbat Services
>
> It was agreed that there is now support for 2 services each month. It was
proposed that we try to have one with a Rabbi and one lay-lead. The 2nd and
4th Saturdays were chosen so that the timing of the services would follow a
regular pattern.
>
> It was decided that we would have a lay-lead service next Saturday Jan
10th. Randi and Mori will lead the service. There will be a potluck kiddish
following.
>
> 4) Torah
>
> It was decided that the next step for the torah was to more accurately
determine its condition and estimate the costs for repair and for building
an ark. Jay agreed to coordinate having the torah evaluated. Steve agreed to
investigate the cost of building an ark in Rockford.
>
> 5) Officers:
>
> Toni agreed to be treasurer. Abi and Steve agreed to be co-chairs of the
steering committee.
>
> 6) Next Meeting
>
> The next meeting will be at Nance's house on January 18th at 4:00 PM.

attend.
