KKBE says farewell and Bon Voyage to Rebecca Gundersheim!
We are so grateful for the music, spirit, and joy Rebecca has brought to KKBE as a beloved songleader—whether leading Shabbat, holidays, or Tot Shabbat with our youngest congregants. This Friday at 7:00pm, join us for her final service at KKBE during our special Pride Shabbat. 💖🌈
Rebecca is heading to NYC to begin an exciting new role as a full-time educator at Central Synagogue. While we’ll miss her dearly, we’re thrilled for what’s ahead. Bon voyage, Rebecca—you’ll always have a home in Charleston!

For many years, Irene Gilbert was the welcoming heart of KKBE—a familiar face to newcomers and longtime members alike. Her warmth, humor, and radiant smile touched us all, and her absence is deeply felt.
This Friday at 5:30pm, just before the 6:00pm Kabbalat Shabbat Evening Service, the KKBE Sisterhood invites you to join us in the KKBE Courtyard for a special pre-neg as we dedicate a courtyard bench in Irene`s memory.
This courtyard bench is our lasting tribute to her spirit. Come take a seat, share a memory, and help us remember someone who made everyone at KKBE feel at home. To register for the service, go to kkbe.org.
