Kehillah Corner

BY SETH GOLOB Director of Education and Marketing Communications

When I eat a pint of ice cream, I go for the scoop and pass method, skipping the bowl. I’ll admit that I’m guilty of scooping out the best parts—the chocolate chips, cookie dough pieces, brownie bites. Recently, I discovered a new “core” ice cream. All of the delicious key ingredients are in the middle of the pint surrounded by ice cream. With each and every bite, I’m assured a nice scoop of ice cream filled with all of the components of the core that I enjoy most.

At Kehillah, we’re the pint of ice cream with a special “core,” which is, of course, my favorite flavor. Our “core” is filled with community, connection, growth, creativity, and lifelong learning. As I think about our thriving Kehillah, our ice cream flavor might be a little sweeter with a hint of something new and delicious but our “core” will continue to be exactly what we all love most about Kehillah.

Each year we add some new ingredients to our Kehillahice cream, making it better than ever. We are planning immersive experiences like trips to the Lower EastSide and Washington D.C.We’ll gather together for Shabbatot Havaya and Grade family programming in our new sanctuary and social hall. We can’t wait for you to join us!

I am especially proud of the“pint” we’ve created, as it has been celebrated as a model religious school in the area. Often I am asked what our special ingredient is. It has and will always be our sweet community.
