Kehilath Israel Synagogue and Campus
offers a full schedule of daily minyanim (Rose Morgan Chapel) and Shabbat and
holiday services (Rabbi
Solomon Sanctuary), life-cycle celebrations, as well as
educational, social, cultural and recreational programs. Our
congregational family encompasses tremendous variety.
We are both 'many communities', and a 'community of one'.
Our building and campus with its emphasis on 'sanctity and
spirituality' provides a remarkable 'sacred
place'-MaKom-for praying, learning, connecting, healing
and meditation. Kehilath Israel Synagogue and Campus is a
magnet, drawing in those souls seeking closer connection to their
Jewish heritage.
The fabric of K.I. synagogue life is harmonious and
intimate. Many functions within the congregation are handled
informally. As volunteers and leaders, people take on projects and
special events as the need arises and as they are so moved.
In addition to our traditional services, there are also special
services for women, community services, holiday learner's
services, healing services and services for children and youth.
As a traditional synagogue, we set a halachik standard
of Jewish practice and provide opportunities for all to learn,
letting individuals within our community find his/her own
equilibrium.
Our goal is to offer access, opening vistas of Jewish learning
and Jewish practice.
Adult education takes many forms, including a regular
Talmud study group with Rabbi Herbert Mandl, as well as
lectures and seminars. There are also informal opportunities for
those who have had minimal Jewish education to gain a foundation
and to grow and develop. Classes and group activities are offered
throughout the year on a variety of topics.
Our Hebrew School and Sunday Family Programs offer a warm and
supportive setting combined with a creative curriculum at every
grade level. Special Sunday Fun Day activities and NCSY and Young
Judaea youth groups add joy and celebration for our teenagers and
children.
On Shabbat we have a community Kiddush and on
occasion relevant speakers and programs are scheduled. The
Sanctuary has been the scene of wonderful musical and literary
performances.
