Dear Kol Rinah Family,
Thank you so much to everyone who came out last Shabbat and showed so much care and kindness to me and my family. It was an incredible experience to be gathered so close with this community I hold so dear. I also wanted to thank Marsha Birenbaum, Barbara Shamir, and everyone who arranged the setup for last Shabbat, as well as to Barbara Shamir, Sarah Sorenson, Karen Kern, and Rabbi Noah Arnow for their heartfelt words, their leadership, their friendship, and their overwhelming thoughtfulness. And thank you so much for all of your kind words, your well wishes, and your caring thoughts as I wrap up my time as a rabbi at Kol Rinah at the end of June. It was truly an incredible celebration that my family and I will never forget.
In addition, there are a lot of other wonderful and noteworthy happenings going on around the Kol Rinah community! As Pride Month continues, I wanted to thank Jen Baer, Stacey Hoffman & Naomi Hoffman for working together over the last few months to help us celebrate Pride here at Kol Rinah.
In addition to last Shabbat's Pride-themed kiddush, we will be joining with other Jewish organizations and the greater St. Louis community this Sunday at noon for the annual Pride Parade. Gates open at 10:00 am, and the easiest way in is to enter through Gate 4 which is located at Chestnut & Broadway. We will be meeting further down on Chestnut between 7th Street and Broadway, and you should be able to find us near the Kol Rinah banner.
We will also having an amazing paint and sip event this coming Tuesday, June 27 from 5:00-7:00 pm at Kol Rinah. We will have alcoholic and non-alcoholic treats, as well as a bevy of Pride goodies to create and give away. Please click the banner below to sign up and bring friends for a wonderful night together!
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Shafrin
