Tefillah (Prayer) Group joins Yelala for their Friday Evening Service

Join Kehillah members on our Tefilah group ‘field trip’ to Yelala’s Friday evening service. We’ll gather in our own Kehillah Shabbat zoom room from 6pm and then ‘Zoom travel’ together to Yelala’s Zoom space for their 6.30pm service, 4th December.

Yelala’s Shabbat evenings: “In this time of physical disconnect, let us choose connection… We may not be able to go out into the apple orchards to welcome the Shabbat like the sixteenth century Jewish mystics, but we can convene in this Online Orchard, to sing in the Day of Rest with chants, meditations, and wordless melodies.”

This Year’s Tzedakah Appeal – Sistah Space & Kehillah

Thank you to all who have already generously donated. We would love to grow our Tzedakah Appeal this year to have more individual donations than previously – and have set ourselves a target of receiving 50 donations. Please do, if you haven’t already, help us reach our target and make a donation!

Our Tzedakah Appeal is raising money for Sistah Space, as well as for our own Kehillah. Donations to Kehillah allow us to offer more, as well as being able to subsidise membership and events for those members and friends who may have financial difficulties.
