Here are just some of the many activities going on at KI!

ADULT EDUCATION – From special sermon series to weekly Torah study and dicussions groups, KI is a synagogue of intellectual exploration. Our high quality Adult Education program is comprised of over 70 classes or lectures annually.

ISRAEL – The Israel Committee, focused on developing support for Israel in our congregation, involves our synagogue in Pro-Israel community events and connects us to national efforts on behalf of the Jewish State.

WOMEN OF KI/SISTERHOOD – Coming together to serve KI, the women of Sisterhood support our schools and youth groups, host Interfaith programs, run the KI Mitzvah garden and operate the KI Gift Shop and Gallery.

KIMU/MEN'S CLUB – KIMU (KI Men United) engages in projects and activities that provide social opportunities, meaningful service to the congregation, and enables members of our Men's Club to experience greater identity, involvement, and inspiration.

MEYERS LIBRARY – Offering the latest fiction books, a rich collection of the Judaica titles for adults and children, and author events and book reviews, Meyers library has earned Advanced Accreditation from the Association of Jewish Libraries. Membership at KI includes full use of the library facilities.

TEMPLE JUDEA MUSEUM– The Temple Judea Museum houses a growing collection of over 6,000 precious objects cared for by our volunteer team. The collection offers opportunities to learn about our culture and history and explore our precious heritage. Volunteers help with exhibitions, research, our database, online site and so much more.

SOCIAL ACTION – One of KI’s seven core values is Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. We focus on social justice through programs both within KI and extending them into the broader community, concentrating on food insecurity and education through a variety of community-based, hands-on efforts.
