Enjoy a kosher lunch, computer instruction, cultural and educational program, a weekly Shabbat program, and lively entertainment. The KIV Club meets the second and fourth Thursday of each month, with discussions of the news of the day, cultural topics, Jewish holiday celebrations, and the opportunity to socialize with friends old and new.
