KHL - Please Join Us
We are located in The Church of the Holy Comforter (CHC), 130 W. Seminary Avenue, Lutherville 21093. All Friday and Saturday Shabbat services will now be held at CHC in the chapel. The chapel is handicap accessible.
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!
Interfaith Learning and Discussion of the Hebrew Scripture with CHC: Focus on the Prophets.
Rabbi Geoff is joining Pastor Chris Tang in co-teaching the Wednesday morning "Bible Study" class at CHC. The theme is "Prophets and Prophecy," the timeless messages of the Hebrew prophets have importance and relevance for all. (And it is a chance to familiarize ourselves with less-often read books of TaNaCh.) This promises to be good learning and, even more important, good inter-faith conversation and expansion of understanding. The Wednesday Scripture Study group will hold their final session on Wednesday, June 19, 10:00 to 11:15 a.m. in the Parish Hall. They will reconvene in the fall, date TBD.
Learn Hebrew!
Of all the entry points into the Jewish wisdom tradition, the Hebrew language is the "Golden Gate." Join Rabbi Geoff on Wednesdays, 6:00-7:00 p.m. The group will break for the summer and hold their final session on Wednesday, June 19. Materials will be provided, and in no time you will gain skills to participate competently and comfortably in services, knowledge of key words and meanings, access to the wisdom embedded in the language -- the acquisition of immensely valuable resources to connect with and use, be they blessings, prayers, songs, Torah itself, and other texts. Please join us, your religious life and identity is about to get a lot richer!
Jewish Summer Camp!
Reconstructing Judaism runs two fantastic summer camps, Camp Havaya in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, and Camp Havaya Arts in southern California. “Havaya” (with a hey, not a chet) means “being.” They are among the jewels of the movement, and they help young people grow and discover their potential within a framework that is shaped by Reconstructionist Jewish values and community building. You’re welcome to contact Rabbi Isaac Saposnik, who directs camp, at isaac@camphavaya.org. We can also help you get in touch with parents around the movement for more info about the experience. The staff at either camp are also happy to help people explore what resources may be available to help cover costs.
Weather Closing Policy
It is Kol HaLev's policy that if Baltimore County Schools are closed due to weather then any KHL service or event scheduled for that day will also be canceled and/or rescheduled.
