THE HEART & SOUL OF KOL CHAVERIM

MISSION & VALUES

Chevra-

Kol Chaverim began in the Southwest Broward area of Cooper City, Davie, and Pembroke Pines nine years ago; offering affordable membership dues; where Rabbi Avi and Cantor Eric have served for over thirty-five years!" Weekly Kabbalat Shabbat and Shabbat Essentials morning services on Zoom enabling those who prefer to attend services in the comfort of their home, office, or, on the go!

Every Friday Kabbalat Shabbat, Saturday morning, all holidays, and High Holidays! Kol Chaverim members that prefer to be in a physical space are attending Temple Kol Ami-Emanuel; while giving others the opportunity to join Rabbi Avi and Cantor Eric on Zoom anywhere they happen to be. "Having the best of both worlds in person, on Zoom, a synagogue with a heart!"

Kol Chaverim was established nine years ago, giving our original community the option to stay with us or go out west. Having Rabbi here with us for 7 years coming this High Holiday 2024 has enabled us to stay together, while Cantor has been here since the beginning starting services in a Tax Office, moving to Cooper City Church of Gd, to the JCC, and, finally after Covid, we emerged into a new phase as a virtual synagogue.

We continue to provide services on Zoom or physically together to enhance the future of Kol Chaverim to continue to be a part of Jewish life in Central & SW Broward. It is equally important to have the ability to be in physical space where others can be together has always been our tradition. We are grateful to Temple Kol Ami Emanuel for the opportunity to be together with those that have chosen to explore their horizon.

Another strong belief to be a part of a greater whole in the community is to give back and serve those less fortunate! Kol Chaverim is proud to recognize our members for continuing to join us as we continue to thrive with a smaller community so that the Rabbi and Cantor can engage with those who choose to be in their virtual space together.

Our "little engine that could, would, and does," share charitable contributions throughout the year while we continue to Support and Stand With Israel; proudly support Friends of IDF, AGMDA, emergency fund, JNF, Lev Haolam, Leiket Israel, in addition to our local community organizations for the respective times of year and holidays .Our founding members who continue to support our efforts we cannot thank you enough Your membership provides these necessities as a synagogue!

23 Sivan 5784

Torah Portion: Numbers 13:1-15:41

Shelach (“Send”) tells the story of Israelite spies journeying into Canaan, the negative report they bring back, and the resulting punishment decreed upon the Israelites: to wander and die in the desert over forty years. It ends with laws about sacrifices, the story of a man who desecrates Shabbat, and the commandment to wear ritual fringes. [1]

ANNUAL LEGACY FUND FEE DUE....

We have established a Legacy Fund in perpetuity for the future of Kol Chaverim. Currently we do not access these funds for operating expenses, Our goal is to build this fund to a minimum of $100,000. In order to do this we have asked members to support an annual fee of $500 for up to five years. It can be payable throughout the year on a monthly basis, we appreciate those that have been contributing consistently and ask those of you that are enjoying the intimate community to support this endeavor. Thank you in advance as we look forward to another year with all of you! With your generosity, Kol Chaverim continues to be able support charitable contributions throughout the year. This past year we were able to align with organizations that provided support for Israel, businesses that have been impacted since October 7 when Hamas, a terror organization attacked and invaded Israel, murdering, raping, and kidnapping hostages. Our efforts may be small, however, every bit helps and your annual Legacy Annual Donation allows us to continue to be able to support our community as well.

FIDF Live Briefing: Cpt. (Res.) Odelia, Search and Rescue-June 23, 2024

The Longest Day of the Year

On June 21st, we passed the longest day of the year. A day that is also a turning point. From here, the days will get shorter and the nights will get longer. But we are still stuck in the past. 266 days behind. Every day for us is October 7th, the longest day we have ever experienced.

YES to the Deal

Next month, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address U.S.congress.

We don’t know what he is going to say - but we know he must speak about the hostages deal.

We know he needs to bring back 120 of our loved ones.

We know there is no better way to bring them home, than an agreement.

Say yes to the deal - Show your support

Since October 7, our Federation has done what it always does: lead emergency response efforts, unite our community in solidarity, and keep our organizations safe and secure.

As we address an increasing and troubling climate of intolerance and discrimination, we remain committed to providing unwavering support to the people of Israel during this most challenging time in our history.

Just hours after the initial attacks, the Jewish Federation of Broward County mobilized and opened its Israel Emergency Fund, a dedicated fundraising effort in partnership with the Jewish Federations of North America, that has raised more than $800 million for humanitarian relief and recovery efforts for impacted communities in Israel.

The Jewish Federation is proud to share the following report, which highlights the impact you made through your generosity and commitment to the Jewish homeland.

Nancy Caroline was a revolutionary in emergency medical care and creator of the paramedic position, the most highly trained EMT, teaching medical procedures previously only used by doctors.

When Nancy made aliyah, she become Magen David Adom’s medical director, bringing the paramedic position to Israel, and launching MDA on its path to becoming one of the leading emergency medical response organizations in the world.

Nancy died in 2002, but tomorrow would have been her 80th birthday. To commemorate the occasion — and in honor of the thousands of EMTs and paramedics that she inspired — we are asking you to support Magen David Adom. Your generous donation will carry forward Nancy’s impact on MDA and on emergency medical care worldwide. Support Magen David Adom today.
