Kabbalat Shabbat is currently on hiatus.

Check back soon for information on High Holiday gatherings!


We appreciate your companion animals and understand that they are an extension of your family.

Consistent with our values for inclusivity and ensuring appropriate accommodations for our community, we welcome all trained service animals. We also welcome Emotional Support Animals (ESAs), for which you have received an ESA letter from a qualified healthcare provider. To ensure the safety and comfort of the most people possible, we are NOT able to welcome other pets at this time.

At the time of registration, please tell us about your service animal, the size, and anything else that would be useful for the event host.

Consistent with the ADA, every animal/companion at a Kesher event must follow these rules to help everyone feel safe:

  • Good Behavior: Animals must be housebroken (potty trained). They cannot bark loudly, growl, bite, or jump on people.

  • Leashes and Harnesses: All animals must be on a leash, harness, or tether. The only exception is if your disability prevents using one. If so, you must control the animal with voice commands or signals.

  • Under Control: As the animal’s companion, you must stay with the animal at all times. You are responsible for the care, supervision, and actions of your service animal.

  • If an animal is aggressive, barks constantly, or messes on the floor, we may politely ask you to remove the animal from the venue.

Thank you for helping us create a comfortable and safe space for all!
