Join KB's Mensch Club for Reverse Tashlich, a hands-on effort to clean beaches, rivers, lakes and shorelines—removing plastic, trash, and other debris that threaten marine ecosystems and the health of our planet.

In the traditional ritual of tashlich on Rosh Hashanah, we go to a body of water and symbolically cast our “sins” into it, beginning the New Year with a clean heart. Reverse Tashlich transforms that symbolism into action by removing human “sin” from the water.

We will participate in the MRWA's cleanup in Medford on Sunday morning, 9/20. More info and registration is here:

Chagigah was a success! At our final community gathering of the year, we celebrated the students and graduates of our Sunday School and gave the adult members of our congregation an opportunity to see what the students have learned and gained from KB's teachings. We also celebrated our senior aids who will be adventuring off to independence next year.

We are so grateful for our staff, students, and all members of KB who have made this past year special. Wishing all a joyful and relaxing summer! ☀️☀️☀️
