Kohelet ~ Freedom To Learn Since 1977, Kohelet has been a place for those who were questioning, or learning, usually both. We combine genuine Jewish reverence with a contemporary openness and flexibility that allows people of all skill levels an opening into the vast, dense tapestry of Jewish practice, with the Shabbat Service as a central pillar. "Never let your prayer be the same experience twice," a famous Talmudic admonition, could be our motto, because our services are led by community members, and work towards the goal of deepening the experience through interspersed explanation and illumination of the Hebrew and the Siddur. Our Shabbat Service begins at 9:15 and ends about 12:05. The Torah Service is about two thirds of the way through, and is followed by a discussion led by a different member each week. In that amount of time there are so many different tunes and beautiful language that it's difficult to be there from beginning to end and hear everything, but many do. Others apportion their time between socializing with the community in the Kohelet house, and parts of the service in the Sanctuary. This freedom is characteristic of Kohelet. Visitors, "shul shoppers," travelers and neighbors of all ages are welcome. Babysitting is provided, and we have a Kid's Service starting about 10:30 upstairs. Once a month [3rd Saturdays], we have a "Library Service," which is a shorter service with more English for those beginning their journey, or for those wanting an easier path.
