  B'Nai Vail's Rabbi Deborah Rappaport said, "B'Nai Vail is proud to help facilitate and join in the discussion of how to better understand these significant global and community topics: The Middle East and Anti-Semitism."
  
  B'Nai Vail invested in the equipment to sustain the 92nd Street Y programs and decided to make the program free to garner the largest possible community participation."One of the goals of the B'Nai Vail Congregation is to be a cultural, intellectual, and gathering resource for its members as well as the community at lasrge.Live from the 92nd Street Y offers a great forum for this," Rappaport said.

  "It is seeing where we have missed the mark over the last year, even though we might have tried to aim correctly," said Rabbi Debra Rappaport of B'nai Vail Congregation.
  
  Rosh Hashanah opens a time to reflect on the past year and to see what we want to change for the future, she said; there are even some similarities to the Jewish style of repentance and the 12-step program.Jews have to own their mistakes, and then they have to make amends for it.Next year, when he or she is confronted with the same situation, he or she will make the right choice, completing the circle of atonement.This is the process of tshuva, or repenting, she said.

  During one of Rabbi Debra Rappaport's first weeks, she was organizing a bat mitzvah, a coming-of-age ceremony for a girl's 12th birthday, and pulled out the Ark of the Covenant from the closet that houses each congregation's ritual objects.
  
  A group of kids from a Lutheran class were fascinated with the item, a small wooden cabinet that holds the Torah scrolls, which gave Rappaport a chance to answer their questions openly and honestly.
  ...
  "I think a lot of people today have a sense of spirituality that may or may not be an organized religion," said Debra Rappaport, of B'Nai Vail.
