KJB In Rewind

Chanukah Concert in the Park

Our 16th Annual Menorah Lighting at Carl Schurz Park, in partnership with Chabad UES and Chabad YP, was a huge hit. This year, for the first time ever, we added a concert featuring Jewish music superstars SoulFarm. Over 400 people braved the cold to enjoy the music and entertainment and celebrate Chanukah together. This event has become a strong symbol of Jewish pride and unity each year that truly lights up the Upper East Side.

Shabbat of Soul & Joy

As an antidote to January’s chill, we welcomed the Traveling Chassidim and their families over Shabbat Parshat Vayechi. The group travels across the United States promoting Jewish unity and dispelling myths about the Chassidic lifestyle.

The KJ Main Sanctuary was overflowing for Kabbalat Shabbat with men, women and children joining for what was a rousing and inspirational Tefilah. A sold-out Shabbat dinner followed with over 250 in attendance. The evening concluded with an open and honest Question and Answer session with members of the group, followed by a spirited Kumzitz. Shabbat Day, the group joined the KJB Minyan for morning Services and the day ended with a beautiful, soulful Seudah Shlishit and a Musical Havdalah concert.

Purim Comedy & Soiree

The KJB Annual Purim Eve Soiree was enjoyed by over 150 people. Our interactive Megillah Reading was followed by rounds of laughter with Comedian Eli Lebowicz, savory snacks, desserts & open bar. What a great way to celebrate Purim together!
