We are a strong believe in having a cantor. We do not think a synagogue can function well without a cantor.

I thoroughly agree that this should be a congregational decision and one that is not made by just a few

This should be a congregational decision not one of just the Board.

We hope the Special Meeting of the Congregation will get formally scheduled without delay---ideally before this petition attracts the required minimum number of signatures.

Searching does not mean that a contract is offerred. I don't understand delaying the search.

Glad to see CBS rise to the occasion of holding a discussion about not hiring a cantor.

I have no qualms with changing how CBS operates, but I do welcome a discussion with the rest of the congregation. I think this is an opportunity to hear everyon, to be sure that that the new model is the best fit for our shul.

This would be a rare opportunity to let the Board know how the congregation really feels about an important issue, By all means, we need this.

It's clear that the congregation must have a voice in this matter. A special meeting of the congregation is urgently needed.

It is very important that the membership be a part of this conversation.

We agree that this must be brought up at a congegational meeting. Having a cantor at CBS during all the services is what we would like, not just for holidays and special times. The warmth of the chanting by a cantor just adds to the whole experience.

Agree the congregation needs to be heard on something this important.

In the event that this petion fails to get the required number of signatures to force the special meeting, I will be happy to bring it up during the annual congregation meeting held in late April/early May.
