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
