In The KItchen Food for thought is also on the menu… We’re dishing text study, sampling fresh perspectives, and introducing new presentations to help us make sense of our changing world — embracing sustainability over scarcity, and partnerships over patriarchy.

Imagine A Place. . . 

  • Committed to nurturing community, comfort, and caring;
  • a place that brings together all the right ingredients to nourish your mind, body and spirit;
  • Centering compassion, collaboration and a life-affirming ethic, where we can learn together how to cook, eat, think, and live more healthfully;
  • Rooted in the OYR community that connects with and influences the quality of life for area residents through exchanging ideas and serving-up food for thought;
  • Open to individuals from all faith traditions where you can explore a menu of mindfulness practices, savor new insights, and experience personal growth.

That place is The KItchen at Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel.  

Celebrating 20 years with Cantor Amy E. Levy!
