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 Guiding Vision:
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.

LOSS SHARED
We are a baseball family. And so the Dodger's loss to the Brewers tonight really stung. We are now 0-2 in a 7 game series. This was a punch in the gut for my 9 year old who loves baseball. We watched the game in a burger joint, and he actually wanted to leave before the game was over. That is very unusual for him.

DANCING FOR FREEDOM
If you like dancing, then I have the holy day for you!
This past weekend, Jews around the world celebrated Simchat Torah. This holy day is one that rejoices in Torah; its name literally means “rejoicing with the Torah!”
Predictably, it is considered a mitzvah/commandment to dance with the Torah during this time. I love this tradition because taking up the Torah and plopping it down in another person’s arms so that they can carry the sacred text always results in their face lighting up with a mix of feeling, at the same time, deep reverential responsibility, and childlike glee. Like, this is so much fun to express joy for our sacred text, but also I really DON’T want to drop it!

PUBLIC REMEMBERING
Melissa and I were able to attend the LIVE broadcasting of the MTV Video Music Award show last night. And woven in among the spectacle of musical talent and artistry were various tributes to the deceased in their field. Not only did they honor the legacy of the late Dolly Parton, but also that of Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, and George Michael, may their memories all be blessings.
