To our members and friends,
Thank you for supporting Congregation Kol Ami throughout 2019. Your generosity allows us to help others. Together we are creating a new, exciting Kol Ami and having a positive impact on the future of Judaism. But, we have so much more work to do. We are asking for your commitment to our mission of providing Jews by birth, Jews by choice, and K’rov Yisrael interfaith families a place to join together as we worship, learn, and celebrate Judaism in a dynamic and caring community. Every person counts and everyone is welcome.
Todah Rabbah — thank you very much!
From the board, clergy, and staff of Congregation Kol Ami
and the Rafi Schwartz Religious School
