Adult Ed Class - Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow.
Even if you missed the first session all are welcome to join Rabbi Steve for this engaging discussion on Monday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the KHL room.
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).
Literature at Lunch
Plan on joining Gail Lipsitz and Mary Dagold on Saturday, November 16 at noon as they discuss various works by Fred Katz, Karen Bender and Shira Naiman. Timed a week after the anniversary of Kristallnacht. We will read in advance an extract from Fred Katz's book that focuses on the warning signs of the arrival of Fascism. Our discussion will bring out parallels to what is happening today and what we can learn from the past. We will supplement with 2 contemporary short stories that portray members of a threatened minority group and how they react to present fears and past history. Please read in advance the following selections: Click on each title to download: Ordinary People and Extraordinary Evil, Immediacy, Confronting Evil, The Porcelain Monkey, and Where to Hide in a Synagogue.

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. All are welcome; no Hebrew required. Hebrew Literacy for adults is offered throughout the year on Wednesdays, (6:00 to 7:00 p.m.) and will begin again soon.
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!
