Change of date this month! Music Service led by Sandra Webber and the KLS Choir, and featuring KLS members or guests who will reveal their choice of music as part of our regular Shabbat Island Discs feature, which (usually) takes place on the fourth Friday night of each month. As usual in these services the “guests” will be interviewed, and this is a great opportunity to find out more about your fellow congregants.
This month we are delighted that Leslie, Rebecca and Amelia will be leading the service, supported by Sandra, Rebekka and the Choir, and sharing their Shabbat Island Discs. The Viney family have been members of KLS for many years. Leslie is a Kabbalat Torah teacher at KLS and teaches journalism, and also cooks the vegetarian delight for the communal seder each year! Amelia did her BatMitzvah at KLS and is now a trustee of Liberal Judaism and a Founding Director of The Advocacy Academy which equips young people to change the world. Rebecca did her BatMitzvah at KLS, was active in Jewish student affairs in York and California, now works in the Cabinet Office.
Bring something to share for kiddush afterwards!
Both members and guests can take a turn at choosing the music. If you’d like a chance, contact Sandra Webber.

Chavurah Supper
2015-06-05 18:30 - 20:30
Monthly 1st Friday of the month
You are warmly invited to this year’s Chavurah Suppers, a great way to relax, let go of the week and welcome in Shabbat with other KLS members. Using the LJ Youth Siddur, we will be singing together, sharing our stories from the week that has gone, de-stressing, and most importantly sharing food, in an informal Friday night service and shared supper, with student rabbi Naomi Goldman. Please bring a plated vegetarian or fish supper and, if possible, a favourite dish to share. All ages welcome.
This month we are having a summer shabbat so bring summer food. We are also privileged to be sharing the evening with a guest from Israel, Reut Michaeli. Reut is in the UK as the guest of the New Israel Fund, and will be speaking at the LJ Day of Celebration on Sunday 7 June. Reut is the Director of the Hotline for Refugees and Migrants. ‘Hotline’ aims to defend and further the rights of refugees and migrants in Israel and works to prevent human trafficking. Its activities include running an advice centre (mainly staffed by volunteers), legal activism and public education activities. The Hotline for Refugees and Migrants is a non-governmental and non-profit organization that aims to defend and further the rights of refugees, migrants and prevent human trafficking in Israel, and is a grantee of the New Israel Fund. Prior to working at Hotline, Reut was an Associate Director at IRAC – the Israel Religious Action Centre of the Israeli Movement for Progressive Judaism.
We will have our usual informal chavurah supper with the service and meal, and afterwards, at 8pm, Reut will talk about the situation facing the approximately 55,000 refugees and asylum seekers in Israel, mainly from Eritrea and Sudan. She will discuss current plans to imprison or deport the refugees from practical, legal and Jewish values standpoints.
