What a wonderful evening celebrating 15 years of Rabbi Stephanie Alexander’s leadership at KKBE! ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for The Great American Songbook: Rabbi Alexander’s Crystal Anniversary Soiree. We are especially grateful to Rev. Nelson B. Rivers, III for his inspiring remarks, to the Charleston Symphony for the beautiful music, and to Bates O’Neal for curating a spectacular musical program that made the evening truly unforgettable.

Most of all, thank you to Rabbi Alexander for fifteen years of dedicated service, compassionate leadership, and unwavering commitment to our congregation and the greater Charleston community. We are honored to celebrate this milestone with you and look forward to many more years together.

Enjoy these photos from a truly special night! 💙 ...

On Sunday, the gates of the Coming Street Cemetery opened — and Charleston walked in.

Docents shared stories. Visitors explored headstones and history. Neighbors who had walked past these walls for years finally stepped inside. It was exactly what we hoped it would be.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Coming Street Cemetery Open House, and to the dedicated volunteers who bring these stories to life. The history here isn’t behind us — it’s beneath our feet and all around us. #RootsInTheGround

This morning, members of our KKBE community gathered at our Huguenin Avenue cemetery, guided by the Jewish principle of Kavod HaMet — respect for the dead. Headstones cleaned. Overgrowth cleared. Sidewalks made accessible again. We are grateful for every hand that showed up. Special thanks to Rabbi Rosen for making and delivering pancakes to the volunteers! 🪦 🪏💪🏼 ...
