Please join us as Isaac Shoptaw, son of Katie Benfield and grandson of Sara Benfield, is called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on Saturday, May 9 at 10:00am at the Shabbat Morning Service.
When he’s not prepping for his Bar Mitzvah, you can find Isaac on the baseball field. Isaac is also an avid outdoorsman who spends his free time fishing. Staying active and having access to athletic equipment is important to him. For his Mitzvah Project, Isaac is collecting new and lightly used sports equipment. He plans to donate these items to even the playing field for those who are less fortunate.
Put your values into action at KKBE’s annual Mitzvah Day! Join us for a meaningful afternoon of hands-on service as our community comes together to make a real impact. From packing meals to supporting local partners, there are projects for all ages—so whether you come on your own or bring the whole family, there’s a way for everyone to get involved.
Enjoy lunch, connect with fellow congregants, and help us live out the spirit of giving back. Together, we can ensure there are truly no empty tables.

Celebrate. Support. Sing along.

Join us for KKBE’s Annual Congregational Meeting on Sunday, May 3 at 11:00 AM in the Sanctuary. Each year, our congregation gathers to do something remarkable: govern ourselves. Every member has an equal seat at the table, and your presence truly matters.
Come celebrate the accomplishments of the past year, hear updates from lay and professional leadership, and help set the course for the year ahead. Members will vote on our Operating and Capital Budgets, elect new trustees, and reflect on KKBE’s impact in our community.
The meeting will also be available via livestream, though members must be present in person to vote.
Following the meeting, join us for a Congregational Picnic in the courtyard beginning at 12:00 PM. We hope to see you there!
