18 Stories of Jewish Thought with Rabbi Noa Kushner
Don’t consider these your last 18, just your first.
While we could all argue (and hopefully, we will) about just which stories are the foundation of jewish thought, Rabbi Kushner has whittled her considerable list down to these 18 – as the most evocative, promising gates into jewish thinking. Don’t worry, she’ll tie these stories to the holidays, lifecycles, commandments, prayers and lots of other things, too.

Something pretty beautiful happens when you study Torah with a group of people over a long time. First, you get to know Torah and how to read between the letters. Second, you start to sync up your life with the regular dose of words and the calendar. Third, you find a group of people you can trust with your biggest questions and ideas.
Coffee for in-person students, audio live-stream available on request.
Always on Saturdays before shabbat morning services, 9 - 9:50 AM. Check the calendar for all occurrences.

KSC 2nd Night Seder
Join us for our 3rd annual dynamic KSC 2nd Night Seder to explore the questions of constriction, freedom, and order in our lives and our world.
Following the brutal constriction of slavery, the Israelites are faced with a new challenge – freedom. Freedom, in many ways a gift, presents its own difficulties. Thus, enters order. Order – something in between complete enslavement and complete freedom. Order comes in many forms – stories, symbols, family, community, work, God, seder. Seder is order. (Literally, seder means order in Hebrew.)
Space is limited, and we will sell out!
Kitchen Playground Passover
Jump back in time during this immersive Passover experience in partnership with Tkiya Music. We’ll re-enact the Exodus with music, stories, movement, scavenger hunts, sensory experiences, and of course — eating. We’ll provide the ritual nosh – matzah, maror, charoset, karpas – and bring your own picnic blanket and lunch to enjoy.
