This fund supplement our dues and fees and allows us to provide you the very best in clergy, staff, and programs for members and students. Thank you to everyone who donated to Kol Ami. Every dollar counts.
We are excited to have beautiful, new chairs in our main sanctuary, adding comfort and aesthetic appeal to our worship experience.

These chairs are where we, as a community, will sit together in unity to pray, to learn, and to celebrate many simchas . In these chairs, our community members will sit at difficult moments, no longer having to be uncomfortable as they remember a loved one in anticipation of Kaddish .

Though donating a chair does not ensure that that specific seat will be reserved for the donor, it does ensure that for decades to come, people will be able to come into our sanctuary and see the donor’s generosity and communal investment.
EVENTS & PROGRAMS

Join Rabbi Samuel L. Spector for the Coalition of Religious Communities (CORC) Annual Faith & Poverty Day at the Utah Capitol. The focus of this event will be bills and budget items that would reduce child homelessness.
Rabbi Samuel L. Spector will be speaking at the event. We will be going with him to support SB 34, which appropriates $20 million in one-time funding and $4 million in ongoing funds to address Utah's housing affordability crisis, to support $2 million in one-time funding for a Domestic Violence Housing First pilot program, and to oppose any proposal to increase the sales tax on food to scale back the Medicaid expansion approved by voters in November.
