Professional Services Database

CKH has always emphasized the importance of community. At the request of Rabbi Baker, Misha ben-David is assembling a roster of CKH members and their professional skills. We specifically seek those with human services skills and training; such as physicians, psychotherapists, social workers, counselors, etc. By having this information at hand, you will have some excellent choices from within the CKH community when you seek professional services. There may also be rare occasions where it would be helpful to call on you in an emergency situation. If you would please take a moment to email Chaplain Misha ben-David <mbd@austin.rr.com>, you would be performing a mitzvahs that will benefit the entire congregation.

Israel Block Party

Texas Hillel is sponsoring "Israel Block Party" on Thursday, March 2nd, 3:30-9:30pm, at the UT South Mall. Israel Block Party is a once-a-year event where you can listen to live, authentic Israeli music, enjoy falafel and schwarma, play games, wander booths that remind you of Israeli marketplaces, and relax in a Bedouin tent. There will be a dunk tank, a raffle with prizes and even activities for the kids! Come out and enjoy the atmosphere—you’ll feel like you’re in Israel. Admission is free!

Social Action / Mitzvah

Amazingly, it is time once again for the Crop Walk. While our congregation is busy ensuring our organization's financial stability, it is still important to remember that there are many in our community and around the globe who lack adequate nutrition on a regular basis. If this is an issue of importance to you, please consider donating money and/or walking with other Austinites on March 5th, starting at the Roy Guerrero Colorado River Park. For more information please contact Cyral Miller <miller-jones@lycos.com> or 371-3014.
