TOUCHING THE
LIVES OF ISRAELIS
Strengthening KBY congregations makes progressive Judaism more accessible to the vast majority of Israelis who yearn for an alternative to the orthodox approach to Judaism.

STRENGTHENING
THE JEWISH STATE
Contributing to KBY makes a positive statement to Israel about the value, validity and authenticity of progressive Judaism by strengthening and empowering the 50+ Reform and Conservative kehillot in Israel.

Pizmon Concert -- March 15th
with special guests from nearby Sderot

 

Pizmon, the Jewish a cappella group from Columbia University, Barnard College and the Jewish Theological Seminary is coming to Ashkelon on March 14th - 16th. They will be holding a concert on March 15th for our membership and for special guests from Sderot.

Kumi Lach, the music playing is from Shir Hashirim.  It begins:
"Rise up, my love, my fair one, rise up.  For, lo the winter is past and the rain is over and gone."

Perfectly appropriate for a March concert in Israel -- please join us.

For the past 20 years Pizmon has traveled to hundreds of Jewish communities throughout America and around the world to offer our music as a source of inspiration and community outreach. During a typical academic year they travelled and perform for about 50 audiences ranging from Jewish day schools, community wide concerts, synagogues, Hillels, hospitals, orphanages and homes for the elderly.

One of the main components of the year is when they embark on their annual spring break tour, which they call their Music Outreach Initiative (MOI). During MOI the group spends nine days with Jewish communities across the globe that either cannot afford to bring us, or are too far to reach during a regular weekend. In the past the group has traveled as far as Germany, Poland, Hungary, Argentina, Uruguay and Ukraine.

There are 13 members in the group this year (six girls and seven boys), they come from nine different states and have one token Canadian. While the members of Pizmon come from a variety of religious backgrounds and as a group they work with every Jewish denomination (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionists), most of our our outreach in the US is through the Conservative Movement. Therefore, the Masorti Movement in Israel, has agreed to partner up with us to help plan our programming.

Please check out their website at www.pizmon.com.
