Congregation Kneseth Israel

Passover is nearly here. Thanks team for the beautiful table settings.

The weather challenges continue. Out of an abundance of caution, we are pivoting Shabbat Morning Services, now called Hot Chocolate and Pajama Shabbat to Zoom. Friday night was already on Zoom. PM me if you need links.

Heads up. Given a forecast for Friday, Jan. 23 of a high of -4, we are proactively moving to Zoom only on Friday. Shabbat Zimrah will be next week, even more perfect since it is Shabbat Shira, the Sabbath of Song. We anticipate this Saturday to be our usual hybrid. Come in out of the cold and warm up!

Reminder: CKI Services Tonight at 7:00 PM CT and Tomorrow Morning at 9:30 AM are on Zoom only. PM me if you need the link.

While it will be cold outside this weekend, inside CKI we will be bubbling over with fun and warmth at our Hanukkah Extravaganza! Mens club is getting ready to make the latke's

Bring toiletries to donate to the soup kettle at Zion Lutheran!

Use the QR code to register. Suggested donation of $20 per family.

Reminder: No services tonight, Friday, Nov 28th. (Enjoy Shabbat dinner or leftovers in your homes). Services on Zoom only tomorrow, given the winter storm warning.

Continuing our expression of gratitude ahead of this Thanksgiving, we extend a heartfelt thank you to Rabbi Margaret Klein and Congregation Kneseth Israel for their generous donation to Centro’s food pantry. Your support helps us keep our shelves stocked and continue serving families in need across our community. Thank you! 💙
