      <title>Shavuot Hike (Sunday, May 31, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In honor of Shavuot we will gather in Renton for a gentle hike &lt;span&gt;(2.6 miles with 400ft elevation gain)&lt;/span&gt;, a little learning, and some community-building. We encourage you to bring along any tools that&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;might help you engage with the natural world in a meaningful way (e.g. binoculars, plant books, magnifying glasses).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;Another name for Shavuot is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yom HaBikkurim&lt;/em&gt; (Day of First Fruits), celebrating the "Seven Species" (wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates)&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;. We invite you to bring your favorite snack, baked good, or in-season fruits, inspired by the "Seven Species" - &lt;strong&gt;please bring enough to share with others&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;This event will be led by Rachel Strickman, a Kavana part&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;ner and experienced environmental&amp;nbsp;scientist, and by Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum. More details about our exact meeting point will be sent to registrants. All are welcome!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>High School Program (25/26) (Sunday, May 31, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Program&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kavana's High School Program immerses 14 to 18 year olds in a wide array of Jewish-thought cultivation. From contemporary issues such as democracy and climate justice to historical Judaic themes - there are no off-limits topics for exploration. Using debate, theater, dialogue, and reflection, this intimate cohort of young adults builds community, nourishes relationships, and is never afraid to get silly. *Dinner provided by Kavana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Program runs &lt;strong&gt;5:30 - 7:45 pm&lt;/strong&gt;, one Sunday a month (dates listed below).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Blending elements of learning and play, staff work to build a ‘summer camp’-like atmosphere. Programming is designed to foster a deeper sense of belonging and to build Jewish identity.

Using both small and large group formats, the teens and tweens spend the evening playing games, debating, acting, and crafting. Through reflection, peer-to-peer activities, and the significance of being pre-and-post B’nai Mitzvah “young adults” the Middle School Program centers Jewish history, the Tanakh, and the day-to-day relevance of Judaism. *Pizza dinner provided by Kavana.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Moadon Yeladim Wednesdays (25/26) (Wednesday, June 03, 2026)</title>

Blending elements of learning and play, staff work to build a ‘summer camp’-like atmosphere. Programming is designed to foster a deeper sense of belonging and to build Jewish identity. Working to provide exposure to Hebrew and Judaics, each session includes playing together, eating together, and learning together through games, stories, arts and discussion. *Light snack provided by Kavana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We are so excited to welcome them all the way from Jerusalem and join them for an evening of music with Kavana.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Kabbalat Shabbat w/ Traci Marx (Friday, June 05, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#002E5C"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Join with community for togetherness and soul-lifting song and prayer as we welcome in the magic of Shabbat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this 75-minute service, led by Kohenet Traci Marx (she/they) and our amazing band of musicians, we sing and pray our way through key elements of Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma’ariv (the evening service), using traditional and new ways of engaging with the prayers. Music and poetry/guided meditation from diverse voices along with our own reflections support the deepening and elevating of our personal and collective prayers.&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;This service aims to be feminist, inclusive, accessible, and counter-oppressive. Song sheets will be available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#002E5C" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;No matter what is happening in your inner and outer world, you are welcome here. We know how much is happening in many of our lives as well as in our world and we acknowledge the range of experiences with which people are showing up. We offer a space, anchored in love, that aims to have many access points to joy, connection, and witness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#002E5C" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana"&gt;Join us at 6:30pm for a Schmooze and nosh (hang out and snack!) before the service begins promptly at 7:00pm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Havdalah Club (25/26) (Saturday, June 06, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Program&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This special evening program for kids grades 3rd-5th (eight to 11 year olds) focuses on the inherited Jewish tradition of dialogue and debate. Over the course of a pizza dinner participants study a Jewish value - considering their personal stance and opinion. Through the dissection of Jewish text and commentary, kids become more informed, and are able to re-evaluate their opinion and relationship to that Jewish value. Considered one of our sacred youth spaces, Havdalah Club is a combination of fun, community, debate and learning all topped off with a Havdalah ritual to conclude each session. *Pizza dinner provided by Kavana.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This program is offered as a series, as consistent participation helps build a sense of community among this cohort. &lt;em&gt;As series participants, we assume we will see registrants each session, unless told otherwise.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Prep &amp; Practice (25/26) (Sunday, June 07, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Program&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Using stories, songs, discussion and projects, the monthly Prep &amp;amp; Practice program explores Jewish holidays and how to engage with them in personally meaningful ways. With a changing annual theme, families begin each session together then separate into smaller age-based groups for targeted learning and exploration (including a special parents/guardians group).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Age Range: three to eight and accompanying adult/s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This program works best for children who are accustomed to 'drop-off' programs (such as day-care) due to the program format.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We can cater to 3rd and 4th graders as well, who may be new to exploring their Jewish heritage and identity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This program is offered as a series, as consistent participation helps build a sense of community among this cohort. &lt;em&gt;As series participants, we assume we will see registrants each session, unless told otherwise.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Join Kavana Partners Diane, Rebecca, Brooke, and Lori for a theatre discussion group!&amp;nbsp;For all who are interested in theatre but cannot find the time to go, we have the solution! We will gather to table read plays and discuss them together. For our first meeting, we will meet for a potluck brunch and reading of Arthur Miller's "A View From the Bridge" - a play about jealousy, betrayal, and the vulnerability of immigrants. [Please plan to read or watch the first act before the discussion - we'll send a pdf to all registrants. We'll read the 2nd act together -- printed copies provided!]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Middle School Program Tuesdays (25/26) (Tuesday, June 09, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Program&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana"&gt;This dinner-based program allows our 6th-8th graders (11-13 year olds) the opportunity to build community as they strengthen their knowledge of Jewish identity, texts and history.

      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Program&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Moadon Yeladim, “Kids Club”, is Kavana’s after-school program for &lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;kids grades K-5th (six to 11 year olds)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. Blending elements of learning and play, staff work to build a ‘summer camp’-like atmosphere. Programming is designed to foster a deeper sense of belonging and to build Jewish identity. Working to provide exposure to Hebrew and Judaics, each session includes playing together, eating together, and learning together through games, stories, arts and discussion. *Light snack provided by Kavana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Shabbat TinkerGan Spring Series (25/26) (Saturday, June 13, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Program&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Joining together on a Saturday morning once a month,&amp;nbsp; the Shabbat TinkerGan program incorporates singing, art crafting, and stories&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Using singing, art crafting, and stories, the monthly Shabbat TinkerGan program explores Jewish identity through Shabbat and other relevant themes. This program aims to set strong foundations in Jewish friendship, family, ritual and joy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Age Range: three to five and accompanying adult/s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;em style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;We can cater to toddlers as well, who may be joining their older siblings or friends in the program.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;The framework for our cohort is based on a teaching from Pirke Avot 1:2 (a section of the Mishnah called “Ethics of the Ancestors”) which reads: “&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Al shlosha devarim ha’olam omed: al ha-torah, v’al ha-avodah, v’al gemilut chasadim&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;.” “The world stands upon these three things: upon Torah (learning), and upon prayer, and upon deeds of kindness.” These programs are scheduled approximately as follows:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;The framework for our cohort is based on a teaching from Pirke Avot 1:2 (a section of the Mishnah called “Ethics of the Ancestors”) which reads: “&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Al shlosha devarim ha’olam omed: al ha-torah, v’al ha-avodah, v’al gemilut chasadim&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;.” “The world stands upon these three things: upon Torah (learning), and upon prayer, and upon deeds of kindness.” &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 247, 154);"&gt;Please save the dates for the following programs&lt;/span&gt; (exact timing &amp;amp; details will come later):&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Session 2 - &lt;strong&gt;November 15th, 2026&lt;/strong&gt; -&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Torah&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Dvar Torah&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;How-to Session: Text Exploration &amp;amp; Writing Workshop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Each and every student’s ceremony and celebration at Kavana is uniquely their own, and the B’nai Mitzvah Cohort connects our families through shared joy, learning, and the key themes within this lifecycle milestone.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration How To:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
