Join us on Friday, March 24th at 6:00 pm for a special Broadway-infused Kabbalat Shabbat service led by Rabbi Graff, followed by a New York Deli-style dinner and music performed by the Silicon Valley Gay Men's Chorus. Numbers from the Chorus will be performed throughout various parts of the evening, so you won't want to miss a New York minute! 

To register for the event and dinner, click here. Services will also be on Zoom.

Everyone is welcome at our egalitarian Jewish community in the heart of Silicon Valley, in Palo Alto, California. Kol Emeth is a place to learn, grow, pray, and make face-to-face human connections. Come and meet people from all walks of life and all backgrounds. We want to warmly welcome you to our services and our community.

PROVIDING AIR PURIFIERS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS:
Partnering with Climate Resilient Communities (CRC), we are promoting a campaign to raise $20,000 to purchase 125 air purifiers for neighbors in East Palo Alto and other neighborhoods where air quality continues to be unhealthy. Each device costs $150. Contributions in any amount are warmly welcomed. Donations can be made here. The good news is that we already met our previous goal of $15,000, so CRC has upped the ante. We believe we can succeed in partnership with Beth Am and Spark Congregation.

EDUCATIONAL EVENTS:
Acknowledging that each of us needs to grow in learning in order to become motivated and then to choose our actions wisely, we have sponsored a series of meetings with wise teachers. We met with Rev. Danielle Parish who had just returned from the world climate meeting in Scotland, Dr. Chris Jones  and our own Phil Metz to be introduced to consumption based emissions. We promise more to come.
