JCK joins other Reform congregations across the country in celebrating Pride Month. We invite you to join us for our first Pride Shabbat this Saturday, June 18, at 10:00am.
In addition to our regular liturgy, there will be special readings added honoring the LGBTQ+ community. A sermon celebrating Pride month will be delivered by Kauai Rabbi Rob Kvidt, who is also gay.
The Reform Movement has long been committed to achieving full equality for our LGBTQ+ community and advocating for rights throughout the world. JCK is proud to be an ally and a partner in that mission.
In addition to wine and challah, we will have a light Oneg Shabbat following the service provided by Reouven Barzilai and MiVaMi Kauai.
Please RSVP for the Oneg to jewishcommunityofkauai18@gmail.com no later than Thursday, June 16.
The parsha for June 18 is:
בְּהַעֲלֹתְךָ
B'haalot'cha | Numbers 8:1−12:16 | When You Raise [the Lamps]
“Awaken us, arouse our consciousness, ignite our deeds.”
Where: St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, Hardy Street, Lihue. Map.
When: Saturday, June 18, 2022.
Time: 10:00 am.
Please donate nameplates in our new books to honor loved ones! For more information please contact us. As a reminder, JCK needs sponsors for Shabbat Onegs. Please take part, as any level of participation is available.
Note that due to an increase in Covid on Kauai, we request that masks be worn indoors.
