A message from Rabbi Phil Lieberman

Hevre,

Thanks for visiting the Kol HaNeshamah website. It is difficult to convey a sense of the KH community in a few lines on a webpage, but I can say a few words about what we aim for as group. However, if you're looking for a spiritual home in Bergen County, I suggest that you come and visit us on a Shabbat morning or on a festival; these are the times that our devotion to a spirited and participatory davvening experience really shines. As a community, I would say that we take what we do seriously but we don't take ourselves too seriously: we are commited to an experience of davvening that is joyous and celebratory as much as it is prayerful and meditative. We are also deeply commited to supporting the needy in our midst, whether through our tikkun olam and hesed projects which reach out to the Englewood community at large or whether visiting sick members of the Kol HaNeshamah community itself, bringing a meal to their home when they need it most. When you come to Kol HaNeshamah, I hope you see the beauty and vibrancy that drew me to the community from the moment I walked in the door, and the community's commitment to Torah, Avodah, and G'milut Hasadim--study, worship, and acts of lovingkindness. I hope that you come to know the joy of davvening and learning, giving and receiving in a place where your input really counts. I look forward to meeting you.

b'shalom,
 Phil
