Out of an abundance of caution please do not allow unknown individuals into our building.

If someone outside is asking to enter, but you do not know them personally, ask one of our staff to talk with them, and do not let them enter. Please also share this message with your children.

Let’s work together to help keep our community safe!

We pray for all victims and their families during this time of war.

This Friday, March 1st

5:30pm – 6:00pm

Join Cantor Sharon Brown-Levy in the sanctuary for a personal, half-hour service of Shabbat songs and stories! This program is for our younger children (typically age 7 and under) and their families. It is a great way for engaging your child in the traditions and meaning of Shabbat.

Kol Ami has a scholarship program supported by Kol Ami Trust and the Kol Ami General Fund to help to send our children to approved Jewish overnight camps with an incentive of $750 per week for first-time campers and $500 per week for second-year campers in addition to needs based scholarships. This program is available to children up through those currently in 11th grade. Scholarship applications are due this Thursday, February 29, 2024. 

Rabbi Spector will be facilitating an evening where members of our community can come and share their feelings regarding the war. This evening will be for members of Congregation Kol Ami in good standing only, and for their children ages 18–26. No others will be permitted to attend. The conversation will be off the record.

Statements of extremism and demonization against Israel, Israelis, or Palestinian civilians will not be tolerated.

This group is open to all women ages 21+, that are members of the synagogue or are currently enrolled in our Introduction to Jewish Life Course. While there is no cost for this event, donations are greatly appreciated.

Kol Ami Members: $10 per adult, $5 per child
