The Jewish community will hold open services and opportunities for learning during Tisha B'Av, a period of fasting, lamentation and prayer to remember the destruction of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem and other major disasters and tragedies that Jewish people experienced throughout history. 

Organizers for Jewish Culture Fest recently announced three performing artists that will take the stage at this year’s event. The event, presented by Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, will come to the Jewish Community Campus on Sunday, Oct. 15. 

Jewish Family Services (JFS) offers a support group for those who have lost a loved one to substance use and addiction — the Kansas City area’s first GRASP (Grief Recovery After Substance Passing) group.
