The beginning of a new year brings the promise of another exciting year in the growth of our Congregation Kol Ami history. Our Kol Ami family has risen to 408 memberships as of June 30th, which represents more than 40% growth in the last four years. Over one third of our membership is under 50 years old and of the 230 children between 0 and 18, 170 are 13 or younger.

Congregation Kol Ami is young again, we are energetic, participatory, traditional, and progressive. We are so fortunate to have the leadership of Rabbi Sam Spector, and we are super excited about our new Cantor, Adam Davis. To support our membership and clergy we have built a skilled and dedicated staff and infrastructure. Our goal is to program for every age group and demographic. To achieve these goals requires more funds than our dues and tuition. We will never turn someone away due to financial insecurity. However, this means we need to make up the differences in donations, and our Annual Appeal goal for this year is $250k. So, we ask or your contribution. Please show your support for our community, our staff, and the sacred work we are doing to embody our values and aspirations now and for a Jewish future.

We are so grateful for your membership and generosity, and we hope you have been moved by all that we are accomplishing.

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

You know how you feel when you hear the Shofar for the first time each year? Now, YOU can BE the one sounding the shofar to awaken the inner self at Rosh Hashanah. This summer, we are recruiting the next class of students! We'll provide practice tubes and teach you the simple techniques to create the sounds everyone loves. If you have a shofar, bring it along; if not, you can use one of ours.

Contact the office to let us know you're interested!
