Weekly Quote from
Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan,
z"l (1881-1983)
As long as wrong and injustice will obtain in the relations between nation and nation there is no likelihood of justice and law being established in the religions between one individual and another.
From Communings of the Spirit, Vol. I, page 118, Thursday, June 28, 1917; used with permission.

Keddem's annual Pesach Seder is coming, on Saturday evening, April 3. See this flyer and reservation form for information. Make your reservations, and join us for this inspiring inter-faith event!
In January, Edie Gelles spoke about her recently published double biography: Abigail and John: Portrait of a Marriage. Using PowerPoint images, she will illustrate the lives of these American founders as well as the historical events that disrupted their expectations for a comfortable and conventional family life. This talk will be accessible for young folks as well as adults who are interested in the early history of the United States. See this photo album for pictures!

We're beginning to publish the drashes for High Holy Days 5770. Check back for additions.
We also have the handouts available from some of the Yom Kippur afternoon study sessions. Thanks to the authors for their contributions.
In addition to our public blog, Keddem now has a community blog. The community blog, at blog.Keddem.org, provide a forum for online discussion. See here for info on our blogs.
Mordecai Kaplan's biographer, Dr. Mel Scult, has given us the opportunity to "look over his shoulder" as he works on his next volume of Communings of the Spirit, selections from Kaplan's prodigious diary. Every month, Dr. Scult will send JRF two or three journal entries for publication on the JRF web site. In addition, he is sending JRF audio recordings of conversations he had with Rabbi Kaplan in 1972; these, along with photos and more, will also be available online.
JRF has also created a listserv called "kaplan-corner"; its sole purpose is to inform subscribers that the site has been updated with new journal entries from Dr. Scult.
