Dear Kitchen-ites, 

Forgive us for sending this update on shabbat and the holiday.

Given the catastrophic events currently unfolding in Israel, we wanted to let you know that, with some adjustments, our Simhat Torah service and gathering will still take place.

More than ever we believe we need to be together, to pray, and to continue reading and treasuring our torah. We will not host a DJ or open a full bar, but, as always, we will sing, and we will ask God and each other for help in meeting this moment.

If you or your friends would like to join us, please know our doors are open to anyone who wants to be together this evening.

We will be reaching out again with more information as events progress.

–Team Kitchen

Abridged schedule for the evening is as follows:
