HIV and AIDS

	The NYC AIDS Walk is Coming: Support Rita’s Team! Last year, on May 20th, 2007, thousands of New Yorkers gathered for the NYC Annual AIDS walk. All proceeds raised benefit GMHC and other AIDS services organizations. CBST’s own Rita Fischer and her team will be walking again this year—please consider supporting Rita’s Team, the largest individual fundraiser in AIDS Walk History! To sponsor or walk with Rita’s Team, go here for more info.
	CBST is a member of the American Jewish World Service's Jewish Coalition Responding to HIV/AIDS, created to educate the American Jewish Community on the dimensions and dangers of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and to provide a strong, unified Jewish voice in the debates and to work on issues related to HIV/AIDS in Africa.
	The CBST AIDS Quilt commemorates the 90 members CBST has lost to AIDS and hangs in our sanctuary during services.
	World AIDS Day is December 1st. Our special guest speaker on World AIDS Day Shabbat in 2003 was Dr. Susan Blank, of the New York City Health Department Bureau of STD Control. Read her comments and handouts here...
