Torah Study - Vayelech Deuteronomy 31:1 – 30
Torah Study - Vayelech Deuteronomy 31:1 – 30
Moses has reached the end. He writes “this instruction” and gives it to the priests. It is to be read before the people every seven years. Joshua is invested by YHVH and charged to take the people into the land. And Moses is to write a song / poem to remind the people of the covenant. The portion reiterates the phrase “Be strong and of good courage” three times. Once to the people from Moses and twice to Joshua (once from Moses and once from YHVH). What does it mean? Why here? Why particularly in the portion that is read between Rosh HaShannah and Yom Kippur? You can join this service virtually by clicking on the blue title above.

Intergenerational Sunday School
MAKING IT REAL!
Kol HaLev is reconstructing Sunday School through an innovative intergenerational educational program called “Making it Real.” We meet monthly to discuss, discover, and experience how engaging Jewish thought and practice can support your family in real and useful ways.
Each monthly meeting will have a theme, an activity, and an opportunity to find alignment with your held values. We are certain that this format will be fun for the entire family, inclusive for participants of every age, including those who don’t have children living at home. We celebrate interfaith families who want to explore how Judaism may inform and enrich their family time.
Our first meeting will be Sunday, October 9, 10:00 a.m. the day before the holiday of Sukkot. We will engage in constructing and decorating the temporary structure known as the sukkah on the CHC campus. Then share in an exercise about the essence of Sukkot and the Sukkah. How can the values associated with Sukkot, like togetherness, the conscious invitation of guests, and facing what's temporary, strengthen our families? To read more click here.
Hashpa'ah/Group Spiritual Exploration
Are you looking for more spirituality in your life? Student Rabbi Emily is training in the ALEPH: Jewish Renewal Spiritual Direction Certification program to be a Mashpia (Jewish Spiritual Director.) She will be beginning to offer a Group Spiritual Exploration on Mondays at 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. starting October 17, 2022. This group will be open to both Kol HaLev and the Church of the Holy Comforter Communities. We will be meeting in the CHC library every Monday. For more information and meeting dates click here.

Shabbat Music
Kol HaLev, with the guidance of Cantor George has been introducing new, exciting, stimulating, joyful music to our services. Much of this music is for Friday nights and is played by Kol HaLev Unplugged on the fourth Friday night of the month. Kol HaLev Unplugged has made recordings so that the community can learn the melodies more easily. This link takes you to the recordings and the lyrics for the songs. You can also check out our latest You Tube video of Kol HaLev Unplugged singing Cantor George's Shalom Rav! Come to Shabbat and enjoy guitar, drum, voices and song!
