Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Arnow 7/17/2020
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
Some of us are getting out, getting away. And some of us are going stir crazy at home. Some of us have everything and everyone we need at home, and some of us haven't had physical contact, a hug or even a handshake, with another human being, in more than four months. Some of us are very ready to start having synagogue services and events in person (with social distancing and masks as...Read more...

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Independence Day 7/3/2020
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
As we come into this Shabbat, many of us find ourselves in an odd position. On the one hand, this weekend celebrates America's Independence Day, a day typically full of gathering with friends and family, reflecting on our love of country and bonds of community, and crowding in parks, beaches, and city centers to watch our local fireworks displays. On the other hand, the necessary safety precautions put in place...Read more...

Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Arnow 6/26/2020
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
We are all living through this time of uncertainty, used to social distancing on the one hand, wondering when things will ever return to the old normal on the other. We're thinking about race, and politics, and justice, health, finances, the economy, the environment--there's a lot on our minds.
I want to remind everyone that there are many resources available for anyone struggling, with...Read more...

Shabbat Shalom for One and All 6/19/2020
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
Today, we not only celebrate Shabbat, but also Juneteenth, considered by many to be a second Independence Day, the day when the abolition of slavery truly took effect. For some context, the holiday commemorates the day (June 19, 1865), more than two and a half years after President Lincoln signed the Emmancipation Proclamation, on which Union soldiers sailed into Galveston, Texas, announced the end of the Civil...Read more...
