Please donate to our 5785 High Holiday Appeal!

We enter the new year with excitement over the progress we have made and a commitment to support our membership with more opportunities to engage in a safe, Jewish, and inclusive community.


Congregation Kol Ami is so fortunate to be a diverse, blended Jewish family. We are seniors, middle-aged, and young; we come from different backgrounds, we are straight and gay, traditional, progressive, and just Jewish. Under the dynamic leadership of Rabbi Spector, we are offering deeper Jewish understanding, more engaging programming and social action opportunities, and broader community relations and involvement. We are excited to have a new Cantor, Adam Davis, leading us in prayer and music. To support our membership, clergy, and growth, we have built a skilled and dedicated staff. We are reinforcing our physical and technological infrastructure to safeguard our community for today and future generations. Our goal is to offer engaging prayer and programming for every age group and demographic. With the increase in antisemitism, our number one priority is to keep our community safe.


To achieve these goals it requires more funds than our dues, fees, and tuition provide, and our commitment is to never turn away anyone due to financial insecurity. We are appealing to you to prioritize your donations to help support our collective goals. Please support our community, our staff, and the sacred work we are doing to embody our Jewish values. Your donations help us provide a safe and secure Jewish home where we celebrate joyous occasions and support one another in times of need.


We are so grateful for your membership and generosity, and we hope you are inspired by all that we are accomplishing together. 


At Kol Ami, every person and every donation counts!


"You shall accept gifts for Me from everyone whose heart is so moved."

—Exodus/Shemot Chap. 25
