Join the Tzedek Council of Kol Ami as we continue our support of the Hollywood Food Coalition by assembling lunch bags for their Sunday lunch distribution program. We made just over 500 lunch bags to be distributed across LA during our last event in April and we're hoping to keep up those numbers! We'll provide the materials so all we ask is that you show up ready to help support this important cause!

Please join temple members Jane Drucker and David Glickman at The Book Circle on June 24th on Zoom at 4:00 PM as we discuss "The Mars Room" by Rachel Kushner.
TIMES #1 FICTION TITLE OF THE YEAR • NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018
An instant New York Times bestseller from two-time National Book Award finalist Rachel Kushner, The Mars Room earned tweets from Margaret Atwood—“gritty, empathic, finely rendered, no sugar toppings, and a lot of punches, none of them pulled”—and from Stephen King—“The Mars Room is the real deal, jarring, horrible, compassionate, funny.”

Rabbi Eger and Rev. Thomas are featured on Queer Theology Podcast as they discuss their new book.
They give us some insight into what went into writing a book from two different religious traditions, ones that are often at odds with each other or pitted against each other in our society, and how their mutual friendship and respect has underscored the values of the book.
They talk about the resilience of the queer community, the beauty of working together in respect of each others’ religion, and the absolute importance of rest in a non-stop world.
