Dear Kehillah,

I can only start this weeks eNews by addressing both the elephant and the donkey in the room. Our Election Beit Midrash programming was such a welcomed departure from the chaos of the current political climate. We enjoyed a notably calm and eloquently presented discussion of the topic of elections, together as a community. In a time where our country feels divided amidst a nail-biter of a presidential race, Kehillah, staff, faculty and students heard from our resident experts, our wonderful History Department. It was a presentation of the facts of the inner workings of our election process that covered both history and elements of the current race, information about the California Propositions and more! Kol Hakavod to

Ms. Carbery, Ms. Ratledge, Mr. Linden, Mr. Nybakken and Mr. Cashman-Brown for their successful efforts to talk about politics in a way that was approachable, agreeable and informative.

We are very excited that Oliver Cashman-Brown, History Teacher, and Samir Malik, Teacher Assistant, will be offering up support in the Homework Tent which will remain a quiet, drop-in, study space for students to use in the way that works best for them.

There are many ways to support Kehillah Jewish High School through philanthropic giving. Your gift directly supports our students, faculty, and staff, and enables us to deliver on our mission.

We have already received donations and pledges from 100% of our Board.

Please join them in supporting the school.
