TOUCHING THE
LIVES OF ISRAELIS
Strengthening KBY congregations makes progressive Judaism more accessible
to the vast majority of Israelis who yearn for an
alternative to the orthodox approach to Judaism.
STRENGTHENING
THE JEWISH STATE
Contributing to KBY makes a positive statement to Israel about the value,
validity and authenticity of progressive Judaism by strengthening and
empowering the 50+ Reform and Conservative kehillot in Israel.

"The concept and the execution were
superb, and I now drive around singing aloud like a man
possessed." ...Rabbi Kenneth Roseman
"It truly is a wonderful CD." ...Marie Ann Slotnick
"The CD is terrific and not only that, it has been good fuel for our
Ritual Committee to discuss how we balance a traditional style that
many desire with a contemporary sound which many people crave. "
...Rabbi Matthew S. Cutler |

Kehillot B’Yahad
(Congregations Together) was started to increase support for
progressive congregations from individuals. KBY congregations in
Israel represent a collective approach to Jewish values and practice
that mirrors and makes whole a stream of Judaism that we accept as
consistent with our own modern traditions.

The miracle of
Shabbat Shebalev represents KBY's first major project, and
we couldn't be more delighted with the results. The music is
uplifting, spirited, warm and wonderful. Cantor Evan Cohen and the
singers from Hebrew Union College and the Jewish Theological Seminary
make this album a real joy. Misha Piatagorsky's creativity, talent and
direction made it a small piece of heaven.
This CD will not be offered
for sale; rather it was designed as a "Thank You" to KBY supporters.
We wanted to share a part of the progressive Jewish experience in
Jerusalem with people who care about Israel and support our
congregations.
