KICKS Birthday - stay for Kiddush and Dinner
Happy KICKS birthday! On Friday, March 20 we'll celebrate 16 years of KICKS!
As we mark this milestone, we wanted to say THANK YOU to all the people who helped make KICKS great this year by teaching, greeting, leading davening, sponsoring Kiddush, hosting or cooking Shabbat dinners, washing dishes, keeping us safe, and working in committees to ensure that all these things happened. We literally couldn't have done it without you!
We hope you'll join us to celebrate our birthday and your contribution next Friday, when we'll honor everyone who helped make KICKS great this year. (If you're one of those who moved away this year, we'll be thinking of and toasting you too!)
After services we'll have some special birthday kiddush treats and then we invite you to join us at KI's Got Shabbat catered dinner. Please sign up here if you are able to join us.
We hope that you will renew your involvement in KICKS again this year. We'd love to have you as a leader again soon. Please let us know if you are interested in taking a role of any kind!
Thanks again for being a part of the KICKS community. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Shabbat Neshama
Join us in the Mishkan Sanctuary on March 13, April 24, June 12 with the entire 384 Harvard Street campus for Shabbat Neshama, a new initiative focused on song, connecting to our roots, and heartfelt prayer across all generations. The name, meaning “Shabbat of the Soul,” comes from the Talmudic tradition of neshama yeiteira, which teaches that we gain a second, elevated soul when we welcome Shabbat. Join us for a heightened, soulful Shabbat experience, coming together in song and prayer with full body and spirit.
5:15PM: Kid-friendly appetizers & small bites
6:00PM: Kabbalat Shabbat followed by community Kiddush and dinner. Please be sure to sign up for dinner here.
View this week's full schedule of online davening, learning, and community building at KI.
Looking forward to sharing Shabbat with you,
