Masks Required at KJ Prayer Services

September 2021

Dear Members and Friends, 
 
We are happy to announce that there will be prayer services this September 2021. However, we have to protect each other.

Please wear your mask at all times while at Kahal. Due to the current spike in Covid 19 cases, the mask mandate will be strictly enforced within the building. And, if you see something, please say something. To preserve the health of our community, help others adhere to the mask mandate.

The priority of Kahal Joseph has always been and is the wellbeing of our congregants. 

Our prayers for everyone to stay healthy and safe.

Kahal Joseph Board of Directors

Condolences to the Family of Grace Joy Nathan, z'l
With great sorrow we send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Grace Joy Nathan, z''l, Bracha Simcha bat Louisa, beloved daughter, sister, and aunt. Grace was born in Los Angeles on April 17th 1959, and passed away slightly after noon on Sunday, September 12th 2021, the 6th of Tishrei 5782.
 
A third generation, longtime member of our community, Grace was the youngest daughter of Ralph z''l and Louise Nathan. Grace's parents and grandparents were dedicated, founding members of Kahal Joseph. Similarly, Grace was devoted to her family, friends, and community. She will be sorely missed.
 
She is survived by her mother Louise Nathan, her sisters Loretta Nathan and, in Montana, Marlene Hutchins, her nephew Nathaniel Hutchins, extended family and friends. Grace was predeceased by her dear father, Ralph Nathan, z''l.
 
Funeral services were held on Wednesday, September 15th at Hillside Memorial Park. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Grace's loved ones. May they be comforted together with all the mourners of Tsion. Min hashamayim tenuhamu.
