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.

"The concept and the execution were superb, and I now drive around singing aloud like a man possessed."  ...Rabbi Kenneth Roseman

"It truly is a wonderful CD." ...Marie Ann Slotnick

"The CD is terrific and not only that, it has been good fuel for our Ritual Committee to discuss how we balance a traditional style that many desire with a contemporary sound which many people crave. " ...Rabbi Matthew S. Cutler


Kehillot B’Yahad (Congregations Together) was started to increase support for progressive congregations from individuals. KBY congregations in Israel represent a collective approach to Jewish values and practice that mirrors and makes whole a stream of Judaism that we accept as consistent with our own modern traditions.

The miracle of Shabbat Shebalev represents KBY's first major project, and we couldn't be more delighted with the results. The music is uplifting, spirited, warm and wonderful. Cantor Evan Cohen and the singers from Hebrew Union College and the Jewish Theological Seminary make this album a real joy. Misha Piatagorsky's creativity, talent and direction made it a small piece of heaven.

This CD will not be offered for sale; rather it was designed as a "Thank You" to KBY supporters. We wanted to share a part of the progressive Jewish experience in Jerusalem with people who care about Israel and support our congregations.
