This Weekend at Kehillath Shalom - December 2nd - December 4th

11/30/2016

It's a big weekend for our little shul in the big woods!
Picture
Friday Night - December 2nd
Join us for a dairy potluck dinner with Rabbi Elisa at 6pm. Don't have a dish to bring? NO WORRIES - COME ANYWAY! (You know Dalia has guaranteed that there will be enough food to feed a small army, and we'd all love to see you!

That's at 6pm on Friday night.
Picture
Saturday Morning - December 3rd
Torah Study - Educational. Irreverent. Entertaining. Thought-provoking. Rabbi Elisa will be leading us through Dvar Toldot. Rabbi Elisa brings insightful commentary, while we bring our thoughts, opinions and the occasional joke, all of which leads to an entertaining and informational morning! Torah Study begins at 10am.
And from Torah Study we'll head into our Torah Service. There will be singing. There will be praying. There will be a Torah out and read from! Services begin at 11am.
Sunday Morning - December 4th
Rabbi Elisa will be leading an Adult Education class at 10am Sunday:

Forbidden Voices: Jewish Women's Leadership Throughout History

Until recent decades, Jewish women were excluded from formal religious leadership because Kol Isha (the voice of a woman) was considered impure and dangerous. Despite the restrictions, many Jewish women still became religious leaders in communities as diverse as 15th century Kurdistan, 18th century Pacific Northwest, and pre-war Berlin. Using primary source materials, we will reflect on writings by and about Jewish women to discover what they have to teach us about spiritual leadership and the unique communities they served.

Hanukkah Fair!

Thanks for reading this far!
Once a month Ileen and I (Deborah) get together to set up the blog posts for the month. Sometimes we do better than others - there's a few weeks here and there where the website goes UN-updated, but our hearts are in the right place.

Not everyone is a webmaster (or even juuuuust tech-y enough to take care of the website) but everyone can help.  The Donate Now button below allows you to make a donation to our little shul in the big woods. That money goes towards all the things we do at the shul - from buying new prayer books, to feeding our congregants the delicious lunches that we get after services and for holidays, and all sorts of things in between.

It even helps with ongoing repairs to the building following that nasty flood a year ago.

And every penny helps. If you can't volunteer to help with the website, or any of the committees that meet, maybe you could spare $5? Or $18? Or even $180, if it's in your budget? Because we all show our love in different ways. I play with graphics and pretty pictures while Ileen feeds me grilled cheese (a perk of being the "webmaster") and others...well, everyone has their own way.

Please donate today and show a little love to our little shul.
