Gearing Up for Social Justice Activism
Kol HaLev is engaged in the fight against unjust, discriminatory money bail in Maryland, and we're getting ready for the 2018 Legislative Session, so stay tuned here. We're thrilled that Jews United for Justice has adopted bail reform in their 2018 platform! In addition to partnering with JUFJ, we do our work with the communities who need to lead this fight. We've been visiting Douglas Church so that we can offer our assistance to Pastor Todd Yeary and the congregation in their work on bail reform. The pastor often testifies in Annapolis regarding this issue and it is one that affects his congregation. Come to KHL's Social Justice Committee meeting this Thursday to find out how to get involved in activism. We'll also discuss Michael Eric Dyson's book Tears We Cannot Stop. If you don't have the book, you can look over some of his essays here.

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. KHL is offering a crash course on "Hebrew for the High Holy Days" at 6:00 p.m. for three Wednesday in September (9/11, 9/18, 9/25) leading up to Rosh Hashanah.
Rabbi Geoff and Cantor George have devised a little "curriculum" that includes all the main themes, the shofar calls, and maybe even a vital tune or two. All are welcome; no Hebrew required. This crash course might whet your appetite for more! Hebrew Literacy for adults is offered throughout the year on Wednesdays, (6:00 to 7:00 p.m.) and will begin again on October 16.

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!
