As part of our decision to focus on intergenerational services, Shabbat services on Friday, October 25th will feature the Reconstructionist prayer book for children, The Voice of Children in an evening equally accessible to families, kids, and adults.  Service leaders Jack and Joyce Dolcourt will moderate the thought-provoking discussion;  Mary and Peter Danzig will provide the violin and mandolin music. 

The Voice of Children: the Reconstructionist youth prayerbook

We will start with a vegetarian potluck at 6:00 pm in the Youth Lounge at Kol Ami Synagogue, 2425 E. Heritage Way. Please use the Youth Lounge doors to the north when you arrive for the potluck. The evening service will start at 7:30 pm in the Pepper Chapel.

Our sukkah at the Cohens, 2013.

Now it’s time to turn again – this time to the pleasures of Sukkot.  We will gather for a vegetarian potluck dinner at the home of Kathi and Sam Cohen on Friday night, September 20^th, at 6 pm (aka 6:15 pm Chavurah time).  We won’t be holding an extended service, but you will get to shake a lulav and inhale the sweet smell of an esrog.  If you are so inclined, please bring something seasonal with which to decorate the sukkah.  We will be celebrating the holiday outdoors, so also bring a jacket or sweater if it looks like it might be a cool evening.
