KCC Youth Embark on Confirmation Journey Our Confirmation journey is well underway, as seven of our youth began classes this fall with Rev. Darryl Kistler and Re- ligious Education Director Marg Stark. Our confirmands are Liam Clark, Zion Dyson, Katie Loomis, Teia Shannon, Eddie Warner, Maddy Warner and Grace Winn. Confirmation is a rite of passage in our church in which we prepare young people, sixth grade and older, to lead their own faith journey. In the twice monthly classes, they are challenged to consider what is important to them, and how faith might fit into their priorities in life. The students perform acts of service, including serving dinner to the home- less at the Alpha Project winter shelter in January. Over the next several months, they also will attend two or more “alternative “ worship services, such as the Shabbat service at Temple Emanuel in Del Cerro and prayers at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Our confirmands are shepherded throughout the process by adult mentors including Russ Havens (Liam); Martha Fuller (Zion); Bonnie McCarthy (Katie); Allison Clegg (Teia); Scott Gentry (Eddie); and Dean Hansen- Tarbox (Maddy). The mentors will join our confirmands for service work, at the alternative worship services, for retreats and for Lenten worship. In the spring, the confirmands will discern whether they want to join the church, sharing covenants with the congregation on Pentecost Sunday.. Take a moment to ask these young people about their experiences. Thanks to parents, mentors and all supporting them at this crossroad in their lives. The Divine Comedy Every year, I make three New Year’s resolutions. Why three you ask? Because if you make three resolutions, and are able to keep one of them, then that one out of three. We’re talking a .333 batting average, which is darn good on the major league level – that can win a batting title some years. And if you go one out of three for an entire career, then you’re heading to the Hall of Fame. Two years ago, I went one out of three, keeping a resolution to not eat fried food for the entire year. Not a single French fry touch my lips, nor a buffalo wing. I gave into the no profanity and I’ll walk the dogs every day, rain or shine, resolutions pretty early into the year. In Montana, in January, it can still be zero degrees, and the dog didn’t get walked because it was d*&# cold outside. Last year, I was resolved to keep my checkbook balanced, drink a my pro- scribed allotment of water a day, and stop chewing my fingernails. I went 0-for-3. This year . don’t call it a come back . I’m resolved to bat my .333 or higher. I’m going to learn conversational Spanish, I’m resolved to be at work on time, and I’m going to be the same weight I was when I graduated high school for when I attend my 20 year reunion in June. I’m intrigued, though, by this myth of the New Year’s Resolutions to remake our- selves. Maybe it’s waking from the sleepiness of the holiday season, or that mystical belief in the power of the numeral ONE, the start, the alpha, the beginning. But so many of us see the New Year as our chance to make things right again, still, maybe for the first time. This myth to start fresh is not just a western idea. Many people in the world do not gear up for January 1, but rather celebrate Chinese New Years. And though resolutions are not made for Chinese New Years, it is customary to evoke the power of your ancestors to give a person new good luck for the New Year – in other words, a chance to start anew. I like that idea, evoking our ancestors for help and luck. Looking to our past mentors and sages to guide us toward a glorious new day. As a pastor in the Christian Church, I seek out the words of the Moses, Samuel, Isaiah, Micah, Jesus, and Paul to add depth and wisdom to my own voice. As a citizen of the United States, I peer into the American collective consciousness to hear what Thomas Jefferson, Walt Whitman, Franklin Roosevelt, Woody Guthrie, Susan B.

  • 1000 Rabbis in Support of Welcoming Refugees
    1000 Rabbis in Support of Welcoming Refugees December 2, 2015 We, Rabbis from across the country, call on our elected officials to exercise moral leadership for the protection of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Since its founding, the United States has offered refuge and protection to the world’s most vulnerable. Time and time again, those refugees were Jews. Whether they were fleeing pogroms in Tzarist Russia, the horrors of the Holocaust or persecution in Soviet Russia or Iran, our relatives and friends found safety on these shores. We are therefore alarmed to see so many politicians declaring their opposition to welcoming refugees. Last month’s heartbreaking attacks in Paris and Beirut are being cited as reasons to deny entry to people who are themselves victims of terror. And in those comments, we, as Jewish leaders, see one of the darker moments of our history repeating itself. In 1939, the United States refused to let the S.S. St. Louis dock in our country, sending over 900 Jewish refugees back to Europe, where many died in concentration camps. That moment was a stain on the history of our country – a tragic decision made in a political climate of deep fear, suspicion and antisemitism. The Washington Post released public opinion polling from the early 1940’s, showing that the majority of U.S. citizens did not want to welcome Jewish refugees to this country in those years. In 1939, our country could not tell the difference between an actual enemy and the victims of an enemy. In 2015, let us not make the same mistake.

  • 340 Rabbis Urge Congress to Support Nuclear Deal with Iran
    340 Rabbis Urge Congress to Support Nuclear Deal with Iran Call for International Partners to Strengthen Efforts to Confront Iranian Support for Terrorism and other Threats For Immediate Release New York, NY, August 17, 2015 For More Information, or to Connect with the Rabbis Organizing this Campaign, Please Contact: Gideon Aronoff; 212 366­1194; [email protected] ​ Today, 340 rabbis from all streams of Judaism sent a letter to all Members of Congress urging ​ ​ that they support the agreement between the international community and Iran on the Iranian nuclear program. “We commend the U.S. and the other negotiating teams for their dedication to reaching an agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. This deal is good for the United States and our allies in the region, and is the best arrangement possible given current international realities,” declared Rabbi Steven Bob of Glen Ellyn, IL. Rabbi Rachel Mikva of Chicago added, “A wide array of views about the nuclear deal exist among American Jews, as demonstrated in the recent Jewish Journal poll that showed 49% approving of the agreement (31% opposed) and 53% wanting Congress to approve it (35% opposed). However many Jewish Federations, AIPAC and other leading national Jewish organizations are campaigning in opposition, which is being interpreted to mean that American Jews want to see the deal scrapped. This is a false and dangerous message that we as rabbis hope to counter with our letter to Congress.” “If Congress ultimately rejects the deal, the consequences for the United States, Israel, the Jewish community and the world will be significant.

  • AJR 2020 Program F.Indd
    Transforming the Jewish World Rabbinic Ordination and Chaplaincy & Master of Jewish Studies Graduation MAY 25, 2020 2 SIVAN 5780 Jewish Leadership The Academy for Jewish Religion California (AJRCA) is a transdenominational learning community educating rabbis, cantors, chaplains, and community leaders who will transform Jewish communities into places of wholeness and well- being. We combine immersion in text and tradition with openness to the wisdom of many streams of Jewish thought and practice, giving students both the knowledge and the tools to develop their own personal integration of Judaism. Flexible scheduling, including distance learning, makes it possible for students to engage in advanced study at their own pace. All our programs offer graduate degrees accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Above all, AJRCA recognizes each student’s unique attributes, consciously nurturing and developing their personal skills and natural gifts in order that they may reach their greatest potential. At this Ordination and Graduation ceremony, you will have a taste of the wonderful outcomes that we at the Academy experience in our lives. The Rabbinical School Our ancient Jewish texts yield deep and precious wisdom, so Tanakh, Talmud, liturgy, mysticism, philosophy, and history are the substance of rabbinical studies. We aim for a spiritually-based approach that enables our graduates to convey the holiness of daily life, and depth of meaning in study and practice. Our rabbinical candidates also acquire specific professional and clinical pastoral skills that equip them to help those in need. The Cantorial School Cantorial study involves immersion in our Jewish musical tradition as well as competence in a variety of musical expressions drawn from the contemporary world’s Jewish music.

  • In This Spirit, We – Rabbis and Jewish Leaders – Warmly Welcome You and Your Mission of Peace to Israel
    UNITED IN OUR AGE: “Since the spiritual patrimony common to Christians and Jews is thus so great, this sacred synod wants to foster and recommend that mutual understanding and respect which is the fruit, above all, of biblical and theological studies as well as of fraternal dialogues.” - Nostra Aetate, Second Vatican Council, 1965 To His Holiness Pope Francis: In this spirit, we – Rabbis and Jewish leaders – warmly welcome you and your mission of peace to Israel. With one voice, we are united in our commitment to interreligious dialogue, to opening more paths to increased understanding. With you we are here to build bridges so that we can traverse these bridges of faith together in a journey of hope for justice, equality, and peace, and to continually recognize and strengthen the important relationship between Catholics and Jews worldwide. And where better to reaffirm that relationship, than in the Holy Land of Israel, a place both religions treasure as part of a shared heritage.
