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

Community Dialogues about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Would you like to have a constructive, respectful conversation with
people whose views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are different
from yours -- without arguing or debating? Are you interested in
talking about your experiences, feelings, ideas, convictions, and
questions in an environment that promotes respect and mutual learning?
The Jewish Dialogue Group is inviting Jews of all perspectives and
backgrounds to their introductory community dialogues this spring. They
have
facilitated 2 dialogues at Kol Tzedek over the past few years, and
welcome people associated with KT to come to these cross-community
dialogues as well.
They are planning three dialogues in West Philly and other parts of
Philadelphia, on weekday evenings o r Sundays in May and June. Exact
dates and times will depend on the participants' availability. To read
more or to register, please visit: http://jewishdialogue.org/spring09philly.html
