Tree Trimming at the Shul
October 13, 2022 - 9:00 - 11:00 AM - Weather Permitting

Tree Trimming at the ShulWe want to cut back the tree between the portable and the main building. While we're not expecting to need a chainsaw, if anyone has one please bring it. Loppers and gloves will be our friends. 

The Plan:
Cut limbs 
Move them to the dumpster 
Cut to size so they fit neatly in dumpster 
If the dumpster reaches 3/4 full, put extra to side for next week.

CRASE Training
Stop the Bleed Training

Congregation Kol Ami is happy to announce another round of CRASE (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events) and Stop the Bleed training. We are conducting this training in conjunction with the Flower Mound police and fire departments respectively. This training is open to the public. You do not have to be a member of the congregation or have a member in attendance with you. Please feel free to bring as many friends and family to this very important training you would like; it could save your or another's life. Please Note: There are some graphic images and events in parts of the CRASE training that may be too intense for young children.

If you would like to join us for one or both of these fantastic training schedules, please use this link.

Heartfelt HaftarahAs a follow up to his last series, Taste of Torah, where the Rabbi discussed the Torah parasha each week, he has created a new series for this year, Heartfelt Haftarah. He will be discussing the companion haftarah for each Torah portion throughout the year. 

We've posted the haftarah discussions for the 1st two portions of the year already - Bereshit and Noach. Tune in each week as the Rabbi goes through the yearly cycle and covers each related haftarah. He will also be discussing related items like the structure of the Tanakh, how and why the haftarah readings were chosen, and many more facts and ideas.

Each video should be posted no later than 8:00 AM on Thursday mornings each week. We've received a lot of positive feedback about the Taste of Torah and hope you find Heartfelt Haftarah just as informative and enjoyable!

You can always find it under the "From the Rabbi" menu on the website or use this direct link.
