Do you want to explore Jewish heritage, traditions and wisdom? Do you want to feel empowered in your spirituality? I founded Keeping It Sacred as the place to do that, and you are welcome here. Our acronym, KITS, honors my beloved grandmother, Fruma Kit Endler, who died at the age of 100 this past June.
Here, you can become a member of the community by subscribing to the newsletter which shares the latest information on all of our programming -- consider this your official invitation to all that we offer.
Did I mention that we are committed to providing accessible experiences, so our programs are free. Meaningful donations of any amount by those who value this concept are most welcome and appreciated- it’s what fuels the work.
All are welcome. That means you, your Jewish and non -Jewish friends, and family. Everyone who would like to participate in the exploration of ancient Jewish texts and rituals made relevant today, anyone wanting to benefit from the wisdom of the ancient sacred wisdom.
Please invite them!

Overview of What We Do:
Our Mission
Keeping It Sacred (KITS) is a global progressive Jewish community dedicated to the intrepid exploration of sacred texts, the practice of meaningful rituals, and the unwavering pursuit of social justice.
We nurture curiosity, deepen compassion, and inspire personal and collective action to bring more light, more justice, more love, and more joy to our world in ways that are accessible, relevant, and empowering. Our mission is to inspire bold, joyful, meaningful living.
Our Principles
Affirming Diversity
The fabric of the Keeping It Sacred (KITS) community is threaded by the multitude of experiences of human identity. We hold sacred space for one another in an affirming and supportive environment grounded in gratitude.
Spiritual Wellness
We support, restore, and inspire. Together, we cultivate spiritual well-being and growth by embracing textual exploration, applying ancient wisdom, and awakening a renewed sense of purpose.
Pursuing Justice
We strive to create a more whole, just, and compassionate world, guided by the Jewish principle of tikkun olam / “repair of the world.” We work toward racial, economic, and environmental justice through a trauma informed lens, and are accountable to a radically inclusive ethic.

SEASON OF JOY
There are certain people in this world whose love is so expansive, to be in their company is deeply healing. They see the good in you and reflect it back. They guide you with important clarifying questions to encourage your growth without shame. Their presence delights your heart, re-aligns your soul, and honors your humanity. Dolly Parton z”l was one of these people. My grandma, Fruma Kit Endler z”l, for whom KITS is named, was one of these people. These qualities, I believe, are God-like.

HANDIWORK
I spent many hours at a desk writing this weekend. Well, actually, sometimes it was a desk and other times it was a deli countertop, a coffee shop, coffee table, or my lap. ‘Tis the season of preparation for the high holy days coming in fast, this September. Over the course of my life I have read a lot of books, so many that Melissa makes me keep a large portion of them in the garage lest they completely overtake our home. I have taught many classes and attained a lot of education, even including college credits at 8 different institutions of higher learning, earning four degrees.

OUR SIXTH BIRTHDAY!
"525,600 minutes…how do you measure, measure a year?”
As we know, these are famous lyrics from the Rent song, Seasons of Love. And the song encourages us each to count our time carefully, even cherishing every minute we have on this planet.
This week (on Shabbat!) our community turns 6 years old officially! And that’s a lot of minutes— over 3 million! And in all of that time we have been showing up for one another to make a positive difference. Our time together counts— and it counts for something big and good!
