Literature at Lunch
Literature at Lunch with Gail Lipsitz will meet at noon to 2:00 p.m. on the following dates:
December 15, March 16 and May 18.
In July 2018, a Gallup poll found that "Immigration Surged to the Top" of the list of what Americans identified as the most important problems facing our nation. Not surprising. Dominating political discussions and featured daily in the news, immigration has become a most troubling and controversial issue, prompting soul-searching and discussions about the essence of America.
For our session on December 15, "Ascending" and "Descending," we will look at short stories describing diverse experiences of Americans who make "aliyah" to Israel, and of Israelis who move to North America:
"A State of Emergency" by Nikki Stiller
"Invisible" by Ayelet Tsabari
"The Best Place on Earth" by Ayelet Tsabari
"Descent" by Danit Brown
We recommend that you read the stories before our meetings so that we can enjoy lively discussions in which all participate. Click on each title to read online or copies of the materials are available in the Kol HaLev room.

KHL - Please Join Us at Our New Location
We have moved to 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. ALL ARE WELCOME on Wednesdays, 10:00 to 11:15 a.m. in the Parish Hall.
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. 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!
