What makes Kol HaLev different?
Kol HaLev is Baltimore's
new synagogue community in the making and Baltimore's newest Reconstructionist-affiliated synagogue. We feature regular Shabbat
services and a variety of programs. Kol HaLev provides a broadly defined
and flexible approach to spirituality that serves a diverse population,
reaching out to and inviting self-identifying Jews and their loved ones
who may be independent of other Jewish affiliations. We welcome
inter-faith families as well as non-Jews who want to join our
explorations of Jewish traditions and the crafting of a meaningful
life.
Our Services
*"Traditional"
shabbat services refer to worship services adhering to a prescribed
order and content without embellishment or overt interpretation or
comment.
*"Kabbalat"
shabbat, the "receiving of shabbat" is a joyous ritual designed to
welcome the shabbat. Developed by Kabbalists in the 16th century,
Kabbalat shabbat centers on the theme of shabbat as the bride of
Israel. Services center on the recitation of specific psalms and the
song Lekhah Dodi; "Come my Beloved"-- a reference to the the intimacy
of shabbat.
*"Musical"
refers to a service focusing on the musical options for the liturgy
developed over the centuries as a method of embracing prayers and
enhancing spirituality.
*"Mindfulness" is the cultivation of heightened awareness
through breath work, body work, meditation, chanting and prayer.
Mindfulness techniques help us plumb the depths of prayer and Jewish
practices while integrating our hearts and intellects.
