Spiritual and Religious Life

As an egalitarian, interfaith-friendly and welcoming community, we encourage participation by all whenever we come together to pray and to mark lifecycles. We observe all religious holidays with services and programs that are directed to people of all ages. They are accessible everyone who comes from a strong Jewish background and to those who are just learning to formulate questions or have little or no exposure to Jewish tradition.

We observe the Sabbath, the High Holidays, and other major Jewish holidays with services and programs and offer Yizkor services during the holidays of Sukkot, Passover, and Shavuot.

Conversion
KHN counts among our members congregants who are Jewish by choice and partners/spouses of Jewish members or parents/grandparents of Jewish members. Some people are interested in conversion. The length and intensity of the conversion requirements are highly individualized and are overseen by Rabbi Janine.

Prayer Services at KHN
We love to sing at KHN, and we sing primarily in Hebrew. Our prayer books (siddurim) have Hebrew, transliteration, translation, historical notes, and poetry, making them accessible and inclusive.
