Literature at Lunch
Mark your calendars to join Gail Lipsitz for the following 2019 - 2020 gatherings of Literature at Lunch. All gatherings take place at noon in the KHL room. For more information, please contact Gail Lipsitz.
May 2: Master storyteller Bernard Malamud (1914-1986) explored the mystery and magic of love in the two short stories that we will discuss in our last session this year. These stories also focus on parents' dreams and wishes for their children, and what happens when children choose a different path. In "The First Seven Years," a Holocaust survivor toils as a shoemaker to earn the hand of a young woman whose immigrant father wants her to "marry an educated man and live a better life." The title refers to the Biblical story of Jacob being obliged by Laban to work and wait before being allowed to marry his daughter Rachel (Genesis, chapters 29-31). In "The Magic Barrel," another immigrant, an elusive matchmaker whom Malamud calls a "commercial Cupid," tries to find a suitable bride for a picky young man. The story ends with an unexpected twist. Join Gail Lipsitz on Saturday, May 2 at noon to discuss these memorable stories. For a biography of Bernard Malamud, click here.

Learn Hebrew!
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. As soon as it is safe to resume classes, KHL will offer an "Aleph Bet for Beginners" class on Wednesdays (5:00 to 6:00 p.m.) and Hebrew Literacy for adults is offered throughout the year on Wednesdays, (6:00 to 7:00 p.m.).
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!
