Literature at Lunch
Mark your calendar to join Gail Lipsitz and Mary Dagold on Saturday, September 7 at noon as we begin our next session of Literature and Lunch for this year. Our discussion will be about the Israeli TV show "Shtisel."
How did an Israeli TV show about an ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) family living in Jerusalem become a global sensation? Come watch and discuss the first episode of this series that gives us a window into the lives of Jews who may seem very insular and foreign to us, but with whom we quickly discover we have much in common. The fictional characters experience hopes and dreams, love and loss, marriage, raising and educating children, intergenerational relationships, economic struggles, failures and successes. The show was created by two men with intimate knowledge of the ultra-Orthodox community, which is portrayed realistically and non-judgmentally. Beautifully written, acted and filmed, "Shtisel" "demystifies the Haredi community, reminding us that despite differences in how we may dress and practice Judaism, a core humanity connects us all."* The film is in Hebrew and Yiddish, with English subtitles. You are likely to get hooked on this series, which can be streamed from Netflix.
*(Eric Goldstein, UJA-Federation of New York, "Shtiselmania").
Adult Ed Class - Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow.
Join Rabbi Steve and Rabbi Geoff for this engaging 10 week session - Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow. What does the Kabbalistic tradition have to teach today’s seeker? Are the ancient and mysterious symbols of any value to us, given the very different world in which we live? How might Kabbalah be refitted so that it can serve as an appropriate vehicle for a very contemporary spiritual quest? Can this be done without destroying the soul of the tradition? Can a thinking person turn to an ancient wisdom source like Kabbalah without fleeing today’s reality and abandoning responsibility for life in this world? (From the preface of Art Green's book).
You are invited to come for the learning and discussion on Monday evenings starting October 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the KHL room.

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 Shabbat Unplugged on the fourth Friday night of the month. Shabbat 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 access them from this home page under the Program tab above). Come and enjoy guitar, drum, voices and song!
Learn Hebrew for the High Holy Days!
As an entry point into Judaism and Jewish life, Hebrew language familiarity is the "Golden Gate." Those who have learned a little Hebrew can attest to how much more they can understand, access the wisdom, participate in and appreciate our communal services, celebrations and commemorations. KHL is offering a crash course on "Hebrew for the High Holy Days" at 6:00 p.m. for three Wednesday in September (9/11, 9/18, 9/25) leading up to Rosh Hashanah.
Rabbi Geoff and Cantor George have devised a little "curriculum" that includes all the main themes, the shofar calls, and maybe even a vital tune or two. All are welcome; no Hebrew required. This crash course might whet your appetite for more! Hebrew Literacy for adults is offered throughout the year on Wednesdays, (6:00 to 7:00 p.m.) and will begin again on October 16.
