“The meaning of Shabbat is to celebrate time rather than space.” Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
Services and rituals at Temple Kol Ami are spiritual and musical, led in Hebrew and English. It is a communal Shabbat experience where we hear every voice.
We honor the traditions of the past while embracing the melodies of the current times. We welcome everyone in person and joining us in our online community.
Temple Kol Ami welcomes families and singles, interfaith families, the LGBTQ community, and Jews by Choice.
