FOR YOUR INFORMATION

KEHILLAH IN THE NEWS:

Rabbi participated in a Podcast with the Uncle of our congregant, Eryn Cohen. With Eryn’s permission, here is part of the introduction she posted on Facebook:

For any of my friends who are interested in learning more about Hannukah,  you should give this a listen. My uncle David does a podcast around common assumptions about topics. This week he interviewed my Rabbi on the topic of Hannukah. She is so eloquent and thorough and they cover a lot of common questions that my non Jewish friends and family may have. It is funny and heartwarming and very educational. I’m very appreciative of the acceptance from my family on my conversion to Judaism. Take a listen and enjoy.

Rabbi Sharfman and Congregation Kehillah in the Jewish News:

Congregants prepare for very different High Holy Days services:

“It’s realizing that online looks different and feels different,” said Rabbi Bonnie Sharfman of Congregation Kehillah. “This is true of High Holy Days services, it’s true of Shabbat services, it’s true of our classes, of our religious schools and of Jewish life in general.”

In a second article:

Congregants renew synagogue memberships and seek meaning in uncertain times.

Rabbi Sharfman was quoted as indicating our congregation is on track for membership renewal.

“We have been very active and very responsive, and so that’s why I’m not surprised that our membership is consistent,” said Rabbi Bonnie Sharfman. She’s seen people donate more and renew their membership at higher dues levels than she expected, and “I think it’s out of a sense of connection. We’ve worked really hard and diligently because we have a tremendous sense of community in our congregation for each other.”
