Services
Prayer can heal and enrich our lives. It can unlock joy and gratitude. Spiritual life and prayer are a dynamic part of Kol Emeth. Our services are participatory and we invite you to be among the leaders. Our services are egalitarian because we hear in each other's voices a sign of God's presence. Our services take place in community because face to face human connection is an essential component of spiritual life. Feel welcome to come to any of our services and experience the warmth, joy, and song of our prayers.

This Friday, stay home from Synagogue. Yes, we're serious. Stay home. But...get two delicious matzot (it is Pesach, after all). Invite a dear friend or someone you think would love a Shabbat dinner. Or just have dinner with your family, but make it special with candles, matzah, and blessing your children. And then report back. Who did you have over? How was it? What resources or materials might have made it an even more special evening? -

Shabbat, Apr 19th 10:30a to 11:30a
During these troubling times, come to a Service of Peace and Healing, led by Rabbi Amy Eilberg. In this service we offer short segments of the Shabbat morning service with evocative chants, interspersed with brief kavanot/spiritual introductions and periods of silence. In these times, we reflect on all of the prayers as sources of peace and healing for us, and the entire service as a prayer for peace for us and for the world. Come join us! -

This Moroccan tradition is a fun night of food, friends, family, and music. A Mimouna is a post-Passover tradition in Sephardic communities that has become more widely practiced by Ashkenazi Jews. It is an exuberant celebration of our freedom with hope for good health and prosperity in the coming year. Join us for a lively family-friendly Kabbalat Shabbat with Hadar Orshalimy, followed by a delicious “Chametz-fest” dinner (think of all the yummy carbs you missed at Pesach) and Mimouna fun! -

Have you ever wanted to read the entire Bible all the way through? Study the TaNaCH (Torah, Prophets, and Writings) as a larger spiritual and literary work, as opposed to by the parsha?

We will meet most Sunday mornings (unless it conflicts with other Adult Ed or holiday events). February dates are Sunday the 11th and 18th. -

This title is one of the two Jewish novels chosen this year for the "One Bay, One Book" program launched by the Jewish Community Library. The JCL's website says, "Ain't No Grave" explores the evolving friendship of a Jewish boy and a Black girl from backwoods Georgia through their adulthood in 1913 Atlanta, where they become enmeshed in the pivotal murder trial of Leo Frank and witness the growth of antisemitism in the region."
