Luganda
​

I have been working with a Ugandan Jewish community since 2004. This community is called Kahal Kadosh She'erit Yisrael (KKSY for short) which means "Holy Congregation Remnant of Israel". The community was founded in 2004 in the township of Putti and later relocated to Kaloja, in the same region, to the east of the town of Mbale. I will be posting information on this community and on my relationship with it.

* A Mikweh in Uganda
​

* Morning Service in Kaloja, Uganda  
​​*​ Community Singing: Am Yisrael
Ḥay
* Community Singing: ​Psalm 29 in Luganda
* Shabbat: Psalm 23 with translation in Luganda
* Shabbat: Evening Kiddush with translation in Luganda
* Purim: The Book of Esther in Luganda
​* Pesach: 
How to celebrate in a remote place like Uganda?
​* Pesach: Na-Nishtanna
* Omer Counting: Psalm 67 with translation in Luganda
* Shabu'ot: Exodus 19 and 20
* Shabu'ot: The Book of Ruth in Luganda

* Kippur: The Book of Jonah in Luganda
