Dear Kol Hadash,
As the end of the calendar year approaches, I am asking you for additional financial support for our Kol Hadash community. Dues alone do not cover our activities and staff. Your contributions fund critically important parts of our congregation and keep up with the ever-rising cost of everything! We are committed to educating our young people, providing the widest range of services and life cycle celebrations, creating spaces for adults to learn, question, and grow. We must continue supporting our outstanding staff, investing in marketing technologies, and developing ways to keep our activities safe and secure.
Please click the button below and select the “annual appeal fund” option or put a check in the mail. Give in honor of the community. Give in honor of a meaningful service, yahrzeit, or celebration. Give in honor of the wonderful social event you cherish. Give in honor of a special simcha, a joyous moment. Or give in the memory of a special person.
True to our humanistic ideals, Kol Hadash thrives because of us; because it is ours and we make it what we want it to be. We are a connected and committed community - and I am so grateful you were here. We rely on our community - and our community relies on us.
Thank you for your generosity and support.
David Hirsch
Development Committee Chair

As the calendar year draws to a close, we consider what has been and what will be. New Year’s “resolutions” generally look forward, but sometimes what we really need is to reach some resolution with past and current challenges. Before the year ends, how can we reach the closure we desire?
We are collecting gifts for children in need at this service.

The Priestly Period
Tuesday, December 17, 7:30pm -- ONLINE ONLY
Returning from exile in Babylonia, the Jewish state in the Persian Empire is re-established without a new king; it is ruled by priests from a rebuilt Jerusalem Temple. But (surprise!) Jews can’t agree on how to practice “true” Judaism – thus the Jewish “joy of sects” in Late Antiquity.

As modern medicine improves its ability to treat disease, we have found that education and testing are as important as new discoveries. Join guest speaker Jenny Stein, Midwest Regional Director of Sharsheret: The Jewish Breast and Ovarian Cancer Community, for a very important discussion that could save your life or the life of someone you love.

Parents are going back to school! It is Bring Your Parent to Sunday School! Each of our classes welcomes parents to join for a bit. Each class will have participatory activities based on the curriculum. We'll also have a room for parents to gather and chat, including a light breakfast with coffee and tea. Complimentary childcare is available for children up to age 6. Questions to Ilana Shaffer at youthed@kolhadash.com or 773-209-8266

Have you wanted to make challah (traditional braided egg bread for Shabbat) yet were hesitant to do so on your own? Join with other adults at Kol Hadash as we learn and make challah together. At the end of this class, you’ll bring your challah home to bake it. All are welcome to join this free program. Please register so we can have supplies for everyone.
