The holiday of Tu B’Av is often regarded as “Jewish Valentines Day”.
What is Galentines?
Galentines is a pop-culture phenomenon, originating 15 years ago, where women gather together as an alternative to Valentines Day. During Galentines we celebrate friendship, self-care, and the bond of sisterhood, aptly described as “Ladies celebrating ladies”.

Tisha B’Av Movie Screening of Among Neighbors
Location: Kehilath Israel Synagogue
Join us for a Tisha B’Av movie screening of Among Neighbors (2024) on Thursday, July 23rd at 6:00 PM. This event is open to the KC Jewish community, no affiliation with KI or B’nai Jehudah necessary. Following the movie will be a moderated discussion panel with Rabbi Rachel Rothstein, Rabbi Moshe Grussgott, and Dr. Shelly Cline, Historian and Director of Education at MCHE.
Movie description: Combining magical realism with traditional documentary techniques, Among Neighbors examines the mystery of a small, rural town where people of two different faiths lived side by side for centuries — until the killing began. The film reveals both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on a crime committed among neighbors: the murder of Holocaust survivors in Poland, six months after the end of World War II. The chilling facts revealed in this documentary have led the office of Poland’s nationalist president to call for a ban on the film. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash (Crime After Crime, Sundance Film Festival). Executive Produced by Anita Friedman.
Program run time: 2 HR 15 MIN
CONTENT WARNING: This film contains discussion of the Holocaust. Viewer discretion is advised.
There is no cost for this event, but RSVPs and names of all attendees are REQUIRED for security due by 4:00pm on 7/23.
This event concludes at 8:15 pm and KI’s Mincha will follow, open to anyone who would like to join. Light break fast refreshments will be served after conclusion of the fast.
