Melaveh Malkah with Kol Kahol (In Person & Virtual Options)
Join us at Congregation Kehillath Israel (or virtually through a livestream) Motzei Shabbat for our first ever "Melaveh Malkah" series, starting January 15th. Hosted by Kol Kahol, Boston's premier Jewish and Bluegrass band, join us in song, music, and communal singing as we transition from Shabbat and into the new week. Inspired by Hadar's Rising Song Institute, we will be sharing new niggunim, melodies, stories, and words of Torah as a community. No cost, but registration is required. See other upcoming BASE Boston programing for people in their 20s and 30s.

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.
