Beth Emet Celebrates Rabbi Andrea London

Kavod Community Celebration

A Legacy of Leadership. A Weekend of Joy.

May 29 – May 30, 2026

Join the Beth Emet community as we come together to say Kol HaKavod to Rabbi Andrea London for more than 25 years of spirited and spiritual leadership, interfaith partnership, and unwavering commitment to justice. We invite you to celebrate the profound impact she has made on our congregation, the city of Evanston, and beyond.

Beyond its literal translation (all the honor), Kol HaKavod embodies a cultural and communal spirit of support, valuing each other’s efforts, and celebrating achievements.
