Axe duh Rabbi
This month I was following the United Methodist Church’s General conference.
As a former member of the United Methodist church I feel it is important to
see what is happening since Kehilah Kol Shalom Has been on
occasion been offered resources by that denomination.
It concerned me when I saw the issue of sexuality had become a
heated debate with much pressure from the gay and lesbian side
of the table pressing hard to eliminate the words “incompatible
with the Christian Faith” from the book of discipline. However
sounder minds with a biblical understanding have held firm this
year once again and retained the wording on that topic. This
issue will eventually cause a rift in the Methodist Church and will
cause many to leave . We need to be there to aid in the repair of
damage done by this pagan influence and in doing so welcome
those into our midst who desire to worship the never changing
G-d who makes and keeps promises and never fails us .
KKS has United Methodist clergy in the area that we consider to
be very friendly to our faith and as far as they can according to
their understanding try to follow the word of G-d in all areas.
Keep these people in prayer as the Methodists realize they are
among the very few that are striving to stand in opposition to
the perversion of the body of Messiah by the Ultra Liberal fringe
of the entire body of Messiah.

Making Aliyah
(An intro to participation PART 2)
We are now doing a modified Torah Service with liturgy in both Hebrew and
English a few notes about proper etiquette at the Bima
Brachot
When making aliyah you are honoring G-d and the Torah . It behoves us to
know the blessings used in the reading of the Torah ,even though we do not
read literally from the scroll proper reading and understanding of the blessings
is a sign of one’s desire to follow G-d’s instruction Below we include the first 3
or 4 blessings blessings of the torah service for your edification..
 ( after a few weeks of learning the way the service flows and what to do,
you will find everything will become second nature. Remember the
Chazen,(or Gabbai or Rabbi are always there to assist you as you worship
HaShem and Honor the Torah)

Torah Services This Month
Tradition dictates that without a minyan we not have a Torah Service
we do not follow the Orthodox standard of thinking on this (men only
counted) We do believe that when two or more are gathered together
it behoves us to do so thus when most members of the congregation
are present we will have a standard Torah service.
This month there will be a Torah Service on:
the 5th and 19th of April
