It is a tradition at CBI to give each Bet (second year Hebrew) student his or her own prayer book at a special service (Kabbalat Siddur, which translates literally to Welcoming the Prayer Book). During the service, which was held last night, Rabbi Tom told them to prize this book and had them use it to lead the congregation in several prayers they have studied this semester. Afterwards, each student came to the microphone and stated what prayer meant to him or her. It was so cute - I wish I had thought to take video! A couple quick blackberry shots:
