At Congregation Kol Shalom, we provide a diverse and vibrant Jewish community experience for you and your family. Our members enjoy regular Shabbat services, led by Rabbi Mark Glickman and Cantorial Soloist Laura Cannon, as well as holiday observances and social opportunities. Kol Shalom provides a full spectrum of Jewish religious services, social action opportunities and community experiences for our members. Kol Shalom is committed to tikkun olam (world repair), with recent projects including a diaper drive for Helpline House, cooking for Super Supper, and distributing food and clothing to homeless people in Pioneer Square. Together, we worship as a community, celebrate our many holidays, care for our community and our world, and provide stimulating education for children and adults alike. Our synagogue and learning center are nestled in a beautiful natural setting at 9010 Miller Road, on Bainbridge Island, Washington (near Bainbridge Gardens). Come and see what we're all about!

Each month, different faith communities on the island provide meals for the last five working days of the month to individuals and families who might be having trouble making ends meet until the next payday. Sadly, the number of people needing to rely on this service is growing rapidly. In recent months, over 30 people are coming to have a hot meal each night that super suppers are offered. Meals are served at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (at St. Cecilia's on Wednesdays).
Congregation Kol Shalom provides food and service for the meal on the last Tuesday of each month, in conjunction with Cedars Unitarian Universalist Church. We alternate food responsibilities with Cedars--one month, we provide a main dish, milk,and juice; the next month, we provide bread, salad, and dessert. In the past, there has been a small core of dedicated volunteers from CKS who show up each month and make the meals happen. With larger numbers of people coming for supper, we need more volunteers! Volunteers prepare the food (main dishes must be assembled and cooked at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church, or be a packaged meal, such as frozen lasagne; salads, breads, and dessert can be purchased, or prepared at home), serve, and clean up.
With the increased need for these meals, we'd like to try something new. We will try to scope out good deals at local grocery stores on easy foods to prepare or bring the week before and provide suggestions in the weekly email, but don't be bound to those suggestions! In the weekly email, people will be asked to sign up to provide various parts of the meal. This way, we can make sure we can meet the needs of people, and won't have to turn people away hungry.
June 30th: CKS is responsible for bread, salad, and desserts.
Since the 4th of July is on Shabbat, we won't be selling falafel--but we'll still have our falafel booth! Join us (or just stop by to visit) at Bainbridge Island's Grand Old 4th street fair.
This will be a FREE warmup dance for just CKS
members, friends and people who have attended our previous dances. Come down
and learn some of the dances Caleb will be teaching at our big event. We
will also have a dairy potluck dinner preceding this dance, at 5 pm at Carol
Tice's house to welcome Caleb to our community.
