Join us for a Shabbat Shira Community Sing & Dance with the KT Simcha Band and Yiddish dancing on Saturday, February 1! We are so excited to celebrate Shabbat Shira in song and dance by learning with Yiddish dance master Steve Weintraub, who will lead us in learning dances to embody our Jewishness with joy and empowerment. Come build a wider toolkit for your simcha dancing and circle dancing! We'll cut a rug with the Simcha Band, and prepare for the KT Purim party through this amazing opportunity to learn from an expert in Jewish dance. This year we're also excited to offer "Scattered Among the Nations: Jewish Music Around The World" for children and families with KT member and expert musician Jay Sand, second Sundays at 10am, from October to June, at the KT beit midrash.

Kol Tzedek, a Voice for Justice, is a young and growing Reconstructionist social justice-focused synagogue in West Philadelphia, founded in 2004. We currently have 230 member households. We are artists, organizers, academics, parents, professionals, students, social workers, midwives, and misfits. We are a mixed multitude; people of varied ages, abilities, and genders committed to racial and economic justice. We are people who ask a lot of questions. We are neighbors and friends who cook, sing, and care for one another. And we have decided to bind our lives together in sacred community.
