The New Reform Congregation Kadima

Everyone is invited to High Holiday Services

Rosh Hashanah on Friday September 11 at 7:30, Saturday morning at 10:30. Yom Kippur is on Sunday, September 20, at 7:30 and Monday morning at 10:30. 

The New Reform Congregation Kadima was founded in 2010 in Deerfield to provide a community in the Chicago/ North Shore area for people seeking a Jewish path emphasizing spiritual development rather than traditional theological belief. The Congregation draws inspiration from Jewish tradition for personal transformation. Congregation Kadima is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism while maintaining its emphasis on religious naturalism, that is a commitment to spirituality despite doubts about traditional supernatural faith. 
“Kadima” is a Hebrew term connoting forward movement and progressive change, and the Congregation seeks to create such transformation through studying Jewish ethics, fostering personal reflection and engaging in social justice activities. The Rabbi, Dr. David Oler, is also a clinical psychologist and in his teaching emphasizes Tikun Atzmi, personal self-repair, and Tikun Olam, the responsibility to repair the world by practicing justice and harmonious living, central concerns of Jewish life. He has recently completed another doctoral dissertation focusing on the pursuit of spirituality in a context of religious naturalism for the degree of Doctor of Hebrew Letters at Hebrew Union College.
The rabbi teaches an adult class on Saturday mornings, Jewish Ethics for Personal Transformation, which draws on Mussar literature, a compendium of ethical principles developed over the course of Jewish history. 
The Congregation sponsors Shabbat services and dinners, a variety of social and cultural activities, and is engaged in feeding the homeless, and working for racial justice and the protection of the environment. 
The religious school meets on Saturday mornings and offers a parallel approach to Jewish living for children and youth. 
Many of our classes, services and programs are offered online as well as in person. Kadima uses rented facilities, maintaining low overhead, enabling the Congregation to be sustained with moderate membership fees. People from all backgrounds are most welcome at Kadima. To reserve for the Seder or learn more about the Congregation contact the office at (847) 229-9500 or email <a href="mailto:office@nrck.org">office@nrck.org</a>. You can also learn more about the Congregation at nrck.org.

Highland Park Community House

The High&nbsp;Holidays are central to our Jewish living, not because they mark an historic event, but because they embody an essential Jewish process: intense personal and communal introspection held in play with boundless hope that our behavior will make a difference. In these difficult and painful times with so much division in our community and our country, we need to share in our Jewish journeys. That's why we invite you to participate this year, either in person or on Zoom.
