KICKS Passover Shabbat Dinner
April 22 after KICKS Services
Celebrate Passover and Shabbat with KICKS at our next community dinner on Friday, 22 April 2022! Dinner will start around 6:45 pm following (an abbreviated) KICKS service, which begins with Minchah at 6:00 pm. KICKS will provide a delicious, strictly kosher-for-Passover meat meal cooked by volunteers in the KI kitchen. (Vegetarian options will also be available.) We are aiming to eat outdoors, but are also gauging comfort levels of indoor dining in the registration form.
Please register by 12noon on Tuesday, 19 April. **No sign-ups will be accepted after the deadline.** If you would like to make a donation to help offset the costs of dinner, please do so at https://congki.org/give/ (with "KICKS 4/22 dinner" in the "Payment Notes" section) or send a check made out to "Congregation Kehillath Israel" (with "KICKS 4/22 dinner" in the memo line) to 384 Harvard St., Brookline, MA, 02446.
Come one come all and continue to celebrate our exodus from Egypt!

KICKS is a warm community of spiritually engaged Jews that strives to create soulful, energetic Friday night t'filah and nourishing, inclusive communal activities. We cultivate a traditional-egalitarian davening atmosphere that is committed to powerful prayer experience, within the broader communal fabric of Jewish learning and socializing in Brookline and Boston. We welcome new faces and seasoned ones; people of all ages, backgrounds, genders, and orientations; and encourage everyone to join us in taking responsibility for the group experience.
