Villagers,

Kol haKfar, the downtown egalitarian minyan, gathers this Friday night at 7pm to welcome in Shabbat. We'll be gathering at Jonathan Schecter and Malorie Ferrick's gorgeous LES apartment for davening and kiddush. We'll daven at 7pm. Please bring tasty (dairy) kosher items to share! Jonathan (and others) appreciates whiskey and scotch, so if you have some to share, he'll be your friend for life. Or at least for the evening.

Jonathan Schecter
385 Grand St., Apt L13-04
(Seward Park building)

Since we're still in August, please RSVP so we can get a head count.

Thank you,

Zachary and Co.

Meals every month: We are now having dinners after davening on the first Friday of every month.

We're asking people to bring easy-to-purchase side dishes & beverages, and we'll work with the host to provide a main course. Just pick up a bottle of wine, bag salad or packaged food. We'll do the rest. (Want to help? Email Amanda at amanda@alum.swarthmore.edu)

Learn to Lead: We're offering one-on-one courses to teach people how to lead Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma'ariv.

Have a great voice and can stay in key, rusty with your Hebrew, or can't remember the tunes? We'll get you up to speed in a private setting, and then join you in leading your inaugural davening session. To schedule a session, please email benjamin.pollack@gmail.com or jsschecter@gmail.com

Host the minyan: Ben Folkinshteyn is scheduling the minyan hosts going forwards. Please contact him at kolhakfar.hosting@gmail.com to welcome us into your home. We gather on the first and third Friday of every month.
