Weekly Announcements August 4, 2020
Parking Lot Service:
To Zoom or not to ZOOM, that is the question! Your Ritual Committee has the answer, and you dear CKA congregant, have the choice! On Friday, August 7, 2020 7:30 p.m., a special service commemorating Tu b’AV - the Jewish Love Holiday, will be held at the Kol Ami parking lot! If you are uncomfortable attending the service in person, you can still join us on Zoom. Bring the children, bring yourselves, bring your pets... Please note that due to COVID regulations you will be asked to remain in your car throughout the service. Bathrooms will not be available. We request that you bring a drink with you for kiddush, as we are not able to hand out drinks. Prayer books will be available for purchase or a long term loan. Hope to see you in your car or on line!

We hope you will join us by supporting our 2020 - 2021 Book of Remembrance. Forms are available in the CKA Office or in the July/August Kol Ami newsletter. All information is due by Thursday, August 20, 2020.
