This Week at Virtual KE
Virtual Kol Emeth
Kol Emeth is back mostly in person! But as we've learned from the past few years, for health and accessibility it makes a really big difference to have some of our programming available online. We now offer hybrid services, and a mix of virtual/hybrid or just in-person events. There are spiritual, educational, and social programs geared for all ages. All services (including Shabbat), and lots of continuing classes that welcome newcomers.
Please note that all of these events use the Zoom platform. If you have not already downloaded Zoom Client for Meetings onto your computer, it will be best to do so before joining these groups. Zoom links are available once logged in and will also be sent out in our weekly email.
If you need assistance please contact us.

Elliot Lepler, Kol Emeth member and an AIPAC political chair, will lead a post-election analysis for KE men Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, 7:30pm - 9:00pm in the KE community room.
