Literature at Lunch
Join Gail Lipsitz at noon on March 23 (Please note: this is a new date.) for our next discussion of "INDECENT" a Play by Paula Vogel. Follow the true story of a play, a playwright, and a plucky troupe of Yiddish theater artists from 1906 Warsaw, to 1923 Broadway, to 1943 Lodz Ghetto in Poland, to 2017 Broadway. Sholem Asch's play "God of Vengeance" moved from risky experiment to global sensation—and ultimately shattering scandal. This is the story dramatized by Paula Vogel in her 2017 play, "Indecent." The latest hit from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of A Civil War Christmas, The Baltimore Waltz, and How I Learned to Drive, "Indecent" pays homage to artists ahead of their time and doomed to pay the price. Read and see this fascinating play, and bring your reactions to our discussion.
"Indecent" comes alive at Center Stage (including a klezmer band), directed by Eric Rosen, from February 28-March 31, 2019. We highly recommend that you see the play before our meeting on March 23. To purchase tickets for "Indecent" at Center Stage click here.
"Indecent" was published in paperback (75 pages) in 2017 by Theater Communications Group, Inc., 520 Eighth Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, NY 10018-4156.

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. ALL ARE WELCOME on Wednesdays, 10:00 to 11:15 a.m. in the Parish Hall.

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. 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.
