We’ll celebrate the end of the unique holiness of Shabbat and the beginning of the more routine holiness of the week days with a short havdalah ritual led by Rabbi Leila, followed by some social time for parents while the kids have some special fun, learning time with the rabbi!

Then, in true Kol Ami (and Jewish!) tradition, We’ll all enjoy a potluck dinner and schmoozing! The service starts at 5:00 and the schmooze ends at 8:00pm. Bring yourselves, your kids, and a dairy, vegetarian dish. This event will be at Erika and Bruce Falk’s house in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria. Please contact erikaafalk@gmail.com to rsvp and get directions.

Please join Rabbi Leila and the Kol Ami community for a warm Kol Ami Shabbat Service in the Activity Room at 10 a.m.  We encourage participants to bring dishes to share for the potluck oneg following the service.

Tony and Elizabeth Lower Basch have graciously opened their home to host this event. This will be a wonderful time for non-members to learn more about our spirited community and speak with our rabbi and members of the Kol Ami Community.  PLEASE INVITE YOUR FRIENDS WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN KOL AMI. The event is free; however, Kol Ami members are requested to please bring either a dessert or side dish for the pot luck - the main entree will be provided.  Feel free to relax with us while your children have fun with their peers

Child care will be provided!

The Kol Ami Book Club is reading The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz.  Subtitled "The True Story of a Trek to Freedom", we chose this book to follow on Michaelangelo in Ravensbruck.  This book is also a rare choice for us - it doesn't touch on a Jewish theme.  Rawicz was an officer in the Polish army who was imprisoned by the Russians in 1939. After months of planning their escape, he and an intrepid band of fellow prisoners begin their trek from the Siberian prison camp to freedom. But where is freedom if you begin your walk during winter 1939-1940 in northeastern Russia not far from the Arctic Circle?

We will meet on Sunday, February 26th at La Casa Restaurant, 4551 Duke Street, Foxchase Shopping Center, Alexandria at 12:30 p.m.  Please join us!
