As the High Holidays near, we joyously welcome our new rabbi, Matthew Kaufman, to KI. Rabbi Kaufman brings a wealth of experience, both congregational and scholarly, to his role with us, along with deep knowledge of Kehillat Israel and its culture, having grown up and become bar mitzvah here.
Although the current pandemic means we must hold services online during the Days of Awe, Rabbi Kaufman is making plans for in-person (but physically distanced) activities that will allow face-to-face time with congregants—including tashlich on the first second of Rosh Hashana and small-group gatherings in KI members’ yards and other outdoor spaces.
Members will be hearing more about that soon, and non-members can get more information by emailing KIKatherineB@gmail.com. But for now, we welcome Rabbi Kaufman!
