Kol Tzedek Shabbat Mishpocha Service
May 2, 10 am,
Calvary Center, 48th St. and Baltimore Ave.
Kol
Tzedek's Mishpocha (Family) service is an opportunity to children and
adults to pray together in community. The service is structured like a
traditional Saturday morning service and includes a reading from the
weekly torah portion, an interactive story, and lots of singing! This
service is open to everyone and is especially suited for families with
children between the ages of 2 and 6. An early lunch vegetarian potluck
follows the service. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share and help
KT reduce its carbon footprint--bring your own plate and silverware!

Interfaith Peace Walk in West Philadelphia
Upcoming Interfaith Peace Walk in West Philadelphia
Sunday May 3, 2-5 PM Beginning and ending at Philadelphia Cathedral, 38th and Chestnut street
Since
November of 2003 Jews, Christians, and Muslims have come together to
plan Interfaith Peace Walks for Philadelphia. These walks have included
stops for prayers, teaching, singing, and fellowship at mosques,
synagogues, churches and Independence Mall. This year's route will
begin at the Philadelphia Cathedral (where Rabbi Lauren will be sending
the group of walkers off with an opening prayer), travel to the
Philadelphia Masjid, the Millcreek Baptist Church, and return to the
Philadelphia Cathedral. During these walks we have prayed for the
safety and freedom of all people. We ask all to embrace hope, not fear
and to seek peace through love and justice, not military might. We ask
you to join us to show that peace between people of all faiths is
possible. This is a Family Friendly event, but please be advised of
the length of the walk!
If you have any questions or would like
to meet up with fellow Kol Tzedekers before the walk, email
jackconviser@hotmail.com.-------

KT Open Budget Meeting
May 11, 7:30, 4643 Pine St.
As
the Annual Congregational meeting approaches in early June, this is
your chance to examine the proposed budget. This meeting is open to
any congregant who is interested in learning about how the Kol Tzedek
Budget has changed from last year, or has questions about how the
Synagogue's budgeting works, etc. The purpose is to answer all
congregant questions and concerns - or, as the case may be, make the
appropriate changes - *before* the Congregational Meeting on June 7th,
at which the budget will be simply ratified.
So please join me on Monday night May 11th, 7:30 pm, at the Garden
Court Condos, 4643 Pine St. Please enter at the gate closer to 47th St
(there are two on that block of Pine). Someone will be waiting to let
you in. Since there is no way to be buzzed in from the basement
community room where we will be meeting, I request that you come early
or on time; we will not be able to have someone posted there
indefinitely.. Thanks for your understanding. -- Emma Lefkowitz,treasurer@kol-tzedek.org
