Jewish Guided Meditation with Rabbi Marcia Plumb February 23, 7:00 PM
Find calm within Jewish meditation. Jewish meditation has been part of Jewish spirituality for centuries. Join Rabbi Plumb as she shares her love of Jewish guided meditation. We will draw upon texts to help us find inner calm. Learn tips for how to meditate, if you are a beginner, and enhance your own meditation practice if you are a regular meditator.
Mussar Classes begin again in February! If you are currently taking a Mussar Class, you should have already received a link to re-register for the spring semester.

Please join us in welcoming the newly arrived Afghan family of 6 who we will be helping along with the KI community. The family is living in Brookline.
Robert Lewis Stevenson grew up in Scotland in the mid-19th century. One night when he was still a young boy, he was captivated by what he saw from his home’s front window. He fixated on a lamplighter who was coming up the street with his ladder and burning wick. One by one, the man lit the old-fashioned gas street lamps. The boy’s parents noticed their son’s fascination. “What are you looking at out there?” Young Robert answered, “See that man out there! He’s punching holes in the darkness!”
Please join us in punching holes in the darkness by welcoming our newest neighbors: an Afghan family of six living in Brookline! Our community’s kindness and generosity will support the family in their resettlement.
