ANNUAL KTI SUPER BOWL POOL
Wednesday, Jan 18th 9:00a to Friday, Feb 10th 12:00p
Make the Super Bowl more fun and support KTI! No skill required to win - it's pure luck and pure fun! Here's how it works: A 10 x 10 grid is created so that there are 100 squares Each square is sold for $36 (50% supports KTI and 50% goes to payouts) Once all squares are sold, numbers 0 to 9 (each used once) are randomly picked for each column ("AFC Team") and row ("NFC Team") on the grid These numbers are then checked against the game score for the end of each quarter. If the score is double digits, the second number is used. Winning numbers are then awarded prizes: $360 for each of the 4 quarters and an additional $360 for the final score (if there is no OT, then 4th quarter and final score are the same, and receive $720) What do you have to do to get into the game? Simply buy a square (of a few!) for yourself, a friend or KTI Once all squares are filled in, numbers will be randomly assigned and the grid will be emailed to all participants. Purchase all squares by Friday, February 10 at noon

Parents and Children in Our (Jewish) Homes
Wednesday, Feb 8th 8:15p to 9:30p
Join other parents in our community for discussion, reflection, and connection, as we explore what it means to be a (Jewish) parent in 2022. Let's pause with old and new friends to ask the deep questions about being a parent, and to explore what Judaism might offer us to on our own terms. This group is primarily intended for parents of Kindergarten through 3rd grade students. Parents who are married/partnered are warmly invited to participate as a couple. While each session stands alone, you are encouraged to come to as many as possible. Fall Series: What Parents Give Children Session 1 (Tuesday, October 25): The Obligations of Parents What do we owe to our children? We can't do all the things that need to be done, so can we prioritize (or begin to prioritize) what is most fundamental? Session 2 (Wednesday, November 9): On Being Our Kids' Teachers If the role of the parent is to teach? What gets in the way of us achieving this vision? Session 3 (Tuesday, December 13): Reconstituting Our Parents' Reality What feelings, things, and people do we want our home to include? How might we continue or depart from the ways our parents configured their homes? How does the first Jewish family, Avram and Sarai, model for us what Jewish home-building should look like? Spring Series: What Children Give Parents Session 1 (Wednesday, February 8): The Hardest Job ever: On Rebellious Children Becoming a parent often exposes self-doubt and insecurities. What hidden lessons might be waiting for us in the project of parenting? Session 2 (Tuesday, March 14): From the Mouths of Babes How do we allow our children to teach us while maintaining appropriate boundaries? Session 3 (Wednesday, April 19): On Shalom Bayit How we can we create peaceful homes, without suppressing the creative and dynamic tension that gives our life depth and resonance?

Judaism's Great Debates
Wednesday, Feb 15th 12:15p to 1:30p
Wednesdays, 12:15—1:30 PM, Social Hall Ever since Abraham’s famous argument with God, Judaism has been full of debate. Moses and Korah, David and Nathan, Hillel and Shammai, the Vilna Gaon and the Ba’al Shem Tov, Spinoza and the Amsterdam Rabbis . . . the list goes on. No wonder that Judaism cherishes the expression machloket l’shem shamayim, “an argument for the sake of heaven.” Beyond their historical importance, what makes these disputations so compelling is that nearly all of them, regardless of their epochs, are still being argued. The parade of characters spanning three millennia of biblical, rabbinic, and modern disputation reflects the panorama of Jewish history with its monumental political, ethical, and spiritual challenges. Join as we re-open these timeless debates that lead us to the core of 3,000 years of Jewish conversation. • Justice: Abraham vs. God (October 19) • Holiness and Authority: Moses vs. Korah (November 9) • Inclusion: The Five Daughters vs. the Twelve Tribes (November 30) • Accountability and Morality: David vs. Nathan (December 21) • Resistance: Ben Zakkai vs. the Zealots (January 18) • Law: Hillel vs. Shammai (February 15) • Spirituality: The Vilna Gaon vs. the Baal Shem Tov (March 15) • Boundaries: Spinoza vs. the Amsterdam Rabbis (April 19) • Religious Evolution: Geiger vs. Hirsch vs. Frankel (May 10) • Zionism: Herzl vs. Wise (May 31)
