Haverim Ke'tanim (Little Friends), Saturday, June 16th, 5:00 pm, la Madeleine (restaurant), 3418 N. Lamar Blvd. (map).
After a wonderful learning and worship experience featuring stories, music, arts & crafts, games and a kid-friendly Havdalah service, the kindergartners, pre-schoolers and their families can stay for dinner and get to know each other, schedule play-dates, etc.

Sundays in the Park (with Rebbe), Sunday, June 17th, 10:00am, Central Market Café, 4001 N. Lamar Blvd. (map).
“Sundays in the Park with Rebbe” is the title of Rabbi Baker’s Sunday morning series of discussions at the Central Market Café from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.  This year’s series features topics taken from “You Be the Judge,” a book by Joel Lurie Grishaver which presents a number of provocative ethical dilemmas, quandaries, and challenges with a Jewish, spiritual or moral twist—and a proposed Jewish resolution, all of which is fair game for our discussion over gourmet coffee and nosherei (little stuff to nibble).  Here are the kind of the dilemmas we’ll consider: The Kippah That Was Too Trustworthy, The Nolan Ryan Rookie Card Caper, Can You Cheat at Torah?, and How Long Is ‘Til Death Do Us Part’?

Torah Study, Tuesday, June  19th, Noon, CKH Office.
