Rosh Chodesh Group

This women's Rosh Chodesh group will gather to learn from each other, to learn more about each other, and to better understand the women within our tradition.

For the women of KHL and our friends, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, cousins and nieces--a chance to learn and celebrate the women on whose shoulders we stand, including the women of the Exodus story, who are critical to the story. This year we have someone to lead us in song (Emily), and maybe someone will volunteer to lead us in dance too. Please send in your suggestions for reading and sharing as we continue to evolve our Women's Seder.

Rosh Chodesh, meaning "the head of the month", is our way of marking the new moon...gathering as we celebrate what can be. Please join us!

Upcoming Rosh Chodesh Gatherings

We will be having a Sukkot dinner and gathering at Linda's on Sunday, October 8 starting at 6:00 p.m.

Based on this article that Sam shared this past Sunday:

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Rx-Elul-Returning-repenting-and-reimagining we will reflect on the our journey considering these three aspects: :

1. Identify what you must rend (trepidation about attempting a physical task)

2. Push yourself past comfort (swimming the length of the lake)

3. Make sure that you have your support group (the children in the kayaks)

4. Do you know have "proud flesh" based on the journey? The poem where Sam got the idea of "proud flesh" from:

Please RSVP to Ricki if you can come to the Sukkah dinner, as we have to plan.

Emily will lead us for Rosh Chodesh Chesvan Sunday October 22, 5:00 p.m. where she will share some learnings about Cheshvan and asks us to bring paper and pen for writing.

Celebrate 90 years of Life with Dr. Fred E. Katz.

The Adult Education Committee of Kol HaLev invites you to join us on Sunday, November 5 at noon to celebrate the 90th birthday of Dr. Fred E. Katz. Dr. Katz is a Holocaust survivor, sociologist, author, and KHL member. He will distill his life for us in a series of paradoxes that reflect his life and learning: his family was killed by a German Christian state, yet his life was saved by Quaker Christians. He experienced PTSD before it was defined, and refused to speak of the Holocaust for half a life. Yet he has studied its history to uncover the nature of group evil for the last forty years. It is not enough to remember. We must change our ways as social groups. It is Fred who gives us a priceless gift: how we might save ourselves from the all-too-human propensity to do in a group what we would never do as individuals. Please join us to listen, learn, discuss, and celebrate 90 years of a very useful life.
