Kol Isha, "A Woman's Voice," Heads into Its Sixth Year with Plans to Study God by Ed Grossman — last modified 07-14-2009 09:26 AM

This past May, a group of women and one man, members of the study group Kol Isha--a woman's voice--met at the home of fellow member Dawn Feldman-Lehker for the annual Kol Isha retreat. After helping themselves to an array of nibbles, group members climbed the steps to a lovely outdoor deck where they began the afternoon's study, the culmination of their year-long study of psalms. Group member Jan Greenberg, serving as the day's teacher, passed out pages of contemporary psalms she had gathered from a variety of sources, and for the next two hours the group read and discussed these beautiful writings. A pot-luck dinner followed, during ich group members discussed approaches to their next year's study on God. Film, someone suggested. Music, another offered. One member had brought a helpful annotated bibliography of Jewish writings on the subject.

Micah Works to Build Community, Create Haven for Exploration by Ed Grossman — last modified 07-14-2009 09:26 AM

At the start of Shabbat services on Friday nights, Temple Micah's rabbis customarily offer cups of Kiddush wine to newcomers. When Micah children study for b'nai mitzvah, their parents meet regularly to prepare for and share the experience. When members are ill, others--perhaps total strangers--take them food or drive them to the doctor. Instead of dropping their children off at religious school, Micah parents join them for 45 minutes of family classes. Many hang out afterward for bagels, coffee and kibitzing.
