Our next Shabbat service will be held on November 20th at Congregation Kol Ami synagogue. We will start in the youth lounge with a potluck vegetarian meal at 6pm and services beginning at 7:30.
We will be catching up with Jacob on his journey away from home, running for his life after having cheated his brother Esau out of his birthright and blessing. Jacob had to be unsure of the path ahead, but tonight he finds a stone for a pillow, falls asleep and has a dream…
We are in need of some musical support for the evening, please contact us if you can help.

It has been a while since we last celebrated Shabbat together, but the wait is over. A week from tomorrow, we will hold our first Friday night service of the year 5776. We will begin at 6pm with kiddish and a vegetarian potluck dinner in the Kol Ami Youth Lounge. Then we will have our service in the Pepper Chapel beginning at 7:30pm. We will have first-time service leaders in the persons of Susan and Marty Zuckerman. (If the service is half as good as the food that the Zuckermans contribute to our potluck, the service will be terrific.)
Next Friday the 30th will be special for another reason. Kol Ami’s new cantor, Wendy Bat-Sarah, will be installed that weekend. She will be honored at both their Friday night and Saturday morning services. After the Kol Ami Friday night service, Cantor Bat-Sarah will drop in on our service so that we can help to celebrate this important event in the life of Utah’s Jewish community.
(Our next Friday night service will be November 20th, not the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend. It will be led by Rebecca and Alex Wilson.)
Below is our service schedule for the coming months.

Update: The weather is supposed to become cool and wet on Friday, but unless it is raining around our start time of 6pm, we will go ahead with our celebration. (If it is raining hard at 6pm, we will cancel the event.) Our goal is to be outside the entire evening, so please dress warmly and impermeably.
