Reel Judaism: Jewish Film Series of The New Reform Temple
The New Reform Temple launches the eighth season of its monthly film series for adults which brings to our community cutting edge, award winning films that will explore the Modern Jewish Experience.
On Thursday, January 16 at 7pm at the Sulgrave, we will screen: SUGIHARA – CONSPIRACY OF KINDNESS. The story of Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, consul to Lithuania during World War II, who defied Tokyo authorities and wrote transit visas allowing Jewish families to flee Europe to Japan and other countries. It is estimated that at least 40,000 people owe their existence to Sugihara’s heroism.
RSVP is required. Please contact the Temple office.
Jewish Family Services, in partnership with the Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City, has teamed up with area congregations in response to the ever-growing need for food assistance in Kansas City. Our congregation has been asked to collect donations of soup (including low sodium) and Kleenex during the month of January. These items will be stocked in the JFS Food pantry which will distribute over 27,000 pounds of food to more than 420 families each month. Please drop off your food donations in the collection barrel in our lobby. If you would like information regarding the JFS Food Pantry, or would like to become a JFS Food Pantry recipient, volunteer, or donor, please contact Jo Hickey, Director, Food Pantry/Community Projects, Jewish Family Services (913) 327-8257 or email 
Hanukkah Service with Rabbi Alan Londy and Becky & Nathan Bliss
We invite our congregation to join us for Shabbat and Consecration on Friday, November 8th at 6:00 p.m. We will share together in one of the highlights of our year: the consecration of our kindergarten students into our religious school. These students will participate in the service and receive their miniature Torah as symbolic of their beginning of the formal religious studies. Following the service we will celebrate with a special Oneg Shabbat.
As we begin our New Year, NRT is reaffirming its commitment to Jewish learning. Our members crave an in-depth knowledge of Jewish beliefs, values, and practices. Rabbi Londy is committed to making this kind of learning available.
HAPPENING IN THE NEW REFORM TEMPLE KRASNE GARDEN
