Summary |
What does a typical day at KoREH look like? We begin as a community, with the fabulously musically talented Karen Kern leading us through a Havdalah ceremony. Then we go into our grade level classes where our teachers and madrichim staff provide engaging learning opportunities for our students. After a snack, the students then enjoy time in their chugim (electives) with topics ranging from art, Jewish makerspace, obstacles and challenges, and...Read more...

Summary |
Usually, I would be writing something like “Wow! Our time at KoREH has begun and it’s off to a great start!” Yet, the pacing of the Jewish holiday schedule has made it so that KoREH will be running consistently beginning October 15th. We begin this school year with a robust roster of students! There are teachers who are excited to return to the classroom and madrichim (high school assistants) who enthusiastically signed up to take on this...Read more...

L'hitraot: Til We See Each Other Again
It’s an odd feeling to look back and be struck by just how much has changed in what seemed like such a small span of time. Seven years ago, I inherited a Kol Rinah Religious School that was ready for change. We had amazing families who were hungry for new Jewish experiences, and so together, we set about finding our way forward.
That small, committed group of thirty-seven students has...Read more...

The Greatest Purim Mitzvah Is Empathy
As you’re reading this, Purim is nearly here. For many of us, the holiday of Purim holds a special place in our Jewish lives and in our memories. It is a holiday that takes a frightening premise (the near genocide of the Jews of Shushan) and reinvents it as a festival of merriment, revelry, and communal celebration. It’s one of the things I like best about this holiday, and an important piece of...Read more...

The People Who Warm Your Heart
I have often been asked what it means to work as a rabbi. Most often, I think that outside of leading holidays, lifecycles, and religious ritual ceremonies, the work of being a rabbi is creating the connective tissue between people that builds and strengthens a community. Or, as the brilliant statesman, Robert F. Kennedy, once explained, “We must attempt to bring people back to the warmth of community,...Read more...

The Wisdom of a New Start
Yose ben Yoezer used to say: let your house be a gathering space for the wise; sit in the very dust of their feet, and drink in their words with thirst.
~ Mishnah Avot 1:4
Over the past six years, one of my primary missions has been to build our religious school into the kind of community that brings together learners of all ages and interests, a place where curiosity is rewarded and wisdom...Read more...

The Future’s So Bright…
A famous story is told about Rabbi Akiva, possibly the greatest sage and scholar of the Mishna. It is told that he had no formal education until age forty. One day, while walking, he came across a large rock with a hole worn through it. When he asked how the hole had been made, it was explained that the waters that dripped continually onto the rock had worn it down over the ages and eventually formed a crack...Read more...

Spreading Learning Far and Wide
Learning has always been fundamental to Jewish life and cultural expression. So much so that Jewish learning has been described as both “a tree of life” (Proverbs 3:18) and “like a warming fire” (Jeremiah 23:29), as something that nourishes and sustains us, and at the same time ignites our passions and fuels us forward.
In our own learning at our Kol Rinah Education Hub (KoREH), we have seen our...Read more...

After a nice long winter break, extended a few weeks as we waited for COVID numbers to get better, KoREH is back in full swing! We are so grateful to our students and parents for masking up and helping keep everyone safe. We want to give a special shout out to our teachers. Through all of the ups and downs of the pandemic, and all of the rules to keep everyone healthy, our teachers have worked hard to ensure our students are learning and...Read more...

Summary |
This time of year, our tradition steeps us in tales of journeys and adventure, family and community, and, most critically, of spiritual self-discovery. From the moment we emerge from the High Holidays and start the cycle of Torah anew, we read each week the Torah tales of our ancestors going out into the world and discovering something new about themselves and the nature of their place in this universe.
What’s more, is how incredibly those...Read more...
