Pride Mitzvah Tzedek Council Lunch Bag Assembly for Hollywood Food Coalition
Saturday, June 24, 2023 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM At Congregation Kol Ami
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.”
