1. Davening this week:
We meet every Friday evening in KI's Rabb Chapel at 384 Harvard St. in Brookline. Our davening this week begins at 6:00pm with mincha, followed directly by kabbalat shabbat and maariv. Davening will remain at 6:00pm until shabbat time gets earlier again in the fall.
Join us for Kiddush after services, sponsored by Adin and Sasha Nelson in honor of match day. Mazel tov on this major end-of-medical-school milestone, Adin!
2. Shabbat Unplugged
This Shabbat (March 23-24) is the National Day of Unplugging. Join the movement to put down your cell phone, computer, iPad, and everything else that tethers us to the electronic world. Spend Shabbat encountering family, friends, and our community. Check out the website and join us in taking the pledge.
3. KI Community Shabbat Dinner
Join us in celebrating a Community Shabbat on Friday March 30, at approximately 8 p.m., after KICKS. KI will provide a vegetarian meal, which we will be cooking on Thursday night prior to the meal. This is a partially funded dinner, so we are just asking for $5 plus a food donation (for Family Table) for each person signing up. Please sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/7bt4cfk.
4. Upcoming meals: save the dates!
Put these on your calendar and stay tuned for details! April 20, May 18, June 8, July 20, August 17. Do you want to help organize any of these? Email Geoff.

Rachamim*
Rachamim is a support group for those experiencing pregnancy loss or pregnancy challenges. If you or someone you know has experienced pregnancy loss (miscarriage or stillbirth) or pregnancy challenges (infertility, diagnosed or unexplained) within the past year, and would like to connect face-to-face with other Boston-area Jewish women who share this experience, please contact Elana Premack Sandler at rachami...@gmail.com for more information. When there is a group (3 or more), meetings will be monthly, in a private home in Brookline. The group will be peer-facilitated and free.
*Rachamim connotes empathy, compassion, and acceptance. It shares the same root as the word rechem, which means womb.
Spring into the Spirit
