Weekly Torah Commentary
Behar (Leviticus 25:1-26:2) Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben, Ph.D.
Kehillat Israel Reconstructionist
Waiting for freedom to come takes many forms. Although it is understandable that when I write about freedom most people may immediately think of traumatic political situations around the globe – the tragedy of Darfur or the long-running struggle for independence from the Chinese that the Dalai Lama and his Tibetan followers have experienced for decades.
Rabbi Reuben's Personal Connection with Foster Care
It’s called “Change a Life!” – and Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben can tell you from personal experience that it’s a very appropriate name, indeed, for KI’s May 22 program dedicated to raising awareness and promoting change for children in foster care.
Please join us for a special evening of music, food, and wine at Kehillat Israel dedicated to raising awareness and promoting change for children in foster care.

My Path to K.I.
What led you to KI? What stops have you made along the way? All of us at KI have our own answers to those questions, and we’ll be exploring those answers in this new Web feature, “My Path to KI.”
We begin the series with a look at the events, beginning with a World War II hideaway in the Italian countryside that ultimately led Laura Kuper to KI.
Monthly Series of Tuesday Morning Talks with Jill Spivack
Sleep
(for toddler and preschoolers) May 20, 2008 9:15 - 10:15 A.M.
Whether you have a toddler or a preschooler, sleep disruptions are difficult to contend with. Jill will discuss the reasons why young children often have difficulties with sleep (the 7 sleep stealers) and how parents can encourage them to finally get more zzz’s.
Jill Spivack completed her graduate studies at USC and worked as a psychotherapist at Sinai Medical Center with individuals, couples, families, and children. While living in New York, Jill developed a specialty in pediatric sleep disorders and parenting while working at the Soho Parenting Center. Currently, the co-founder of Sleepy Planet, she provides pediatric sleep consultations, leads general parenting groups for first and second time mothers, and lectures on many parenting topics. Jill also co-created the book and DVD, “The Sleepeasy Solution: the Complete Guide to Getting your Child to Sleep.”
