Join the Little Shul by the River as we delve deeply into the Days of Awe, with multi-access offerings and in-person family services.

Daily Elul Zoom Check-In. Please join us for the last week of Elul as we continue the process of teshuva, of returning to our souls, and doing the inner work of repairing and deepening our relationship with ourselves, others and with the Divine. The themes of Elul are self-reflection, forgiveness and divine closeness, among others. We meet every morning (except Shabbat) at 9 am on zoom for our Elul check-ins. These 15-minute sessions include a teaching/meditation by a member of KHN and the blowing of the shofar. Wendy Blevins, Ginny Witte, Anita Lerman, Rabbi Diana and Betsy Stern will lead teachings next week. Andy Kaufman will blow the shofar. Join us HERE

Selichot Shabbat (Friday Sept. 8 - Saturday Sept. 9) - Adirchai Haberman-Browns is returning to KHN from Jerusalem!
We invite you to join us for a community Selichot journey.
Beginnings aren’t simple and as the Jewish New Year is approaching, we want to prepare ourselves to really begin in the way that is best for us. Embarking on this journey, we will travel through traditional liturgy and tunes, contemporary music and moments of sharing and reflection.
