The Song of Songs: A Kol Ami Book Club selection: "Oh, give me of the kisses of your mouth, for your love is more delightful than wine." So opens one English translation of a titillating part of the Jewish Bible, Shir ha-Shirim, The Song of Songs, on its face a love poem, but deeper down maybe, the rabbis argue, a story of the Jews' love of God. Given that romance always springs eternal AND we are called to love God in the Sh'ma AND we haven't done a poem in a while, let's dig into this. Choose your favorite translation (or the original Hebrew!) and bring it to discuss with your Kol Ami Book Club buddies! Zoom Link:

Shabbat Evening Service with Livestream: Celebrate Shabbat together at our Kol Ami Erev Shabbat service, with music, a D"var Torah (a word or two of Torah), Sabbath prayers and blessings. Musicians will come together with the rabbi (while keeping safe physical distance) to create a new kind of worship experience for our Kol Ami family, and also broaden and expand our Kol Ami community. Let's make our Shabbat an Oneg - a Shabbat of Joy.
