At this holy time, we traditionally ask for your generous investment in our High Holiday Appeal which is a critical component of raising the necessary funds to support our mission and vision.

We remain committed to providing high-quality programs and meaningful spiritual experiences, none of which would be possible without your ongoing support. It is our hope that you will be inspired to make an investment in Congregation Kol Ami. What we do this year, as with every new year in the journey of the Jewish people, will determine our future and each step we take makes a difference. This is your chance to say Hineni—”here I am,” and I am proud to be part of Kol Ami and perpetuating Judaism for us, our children, and our children’s children.

On behalf of the clergy, staff, and Board of Trustees, we wish you L’shana Tovah U’metukah—a happy, healthy, good, and sweet year!

Addison (Addie) and her family invite you to celebrate with her as she is called to the Torah this fall. Addie was born in Salt Lake City and has grown up as a proud member of the Salt Lake Jewish community. Congregation Kol Ami, the McGillis School and the Jewish Community Center have been important influences in shaping Addie’s Jewish identity and love for her faith, traditions, and heritage. Addison has met many of her closest friends and experienced many cherished memories at the JCC, McGillis School and the Kol Ami Religious School.

Addie is in the 7th grade at the McGillis School and has a love of learning, friends, and family. Addison is a very caring and passionate person and cares deeply about her community, friends, and family; including her two dogs Molly and Yogi and her cat Boomer. Addie is very passionate about all people being treated equally—an inclusive community. She is passionate about social justice issues such as Black Lives Matter, the LGBTQ+ movement, and the Stop Asian Hate campaign. She has always been an active and inquisitive child, questions about the world around her are constant and thoughtful and she never misses anything. Her questions about her parents work and why people are camping on the park strips down the street shaped Addie’s Mitzvah project to be one that supports agencies who serve those in our community experiencing homelessness. She believes everyone should to be offered assistance and a place to live.

Addie loves swimming, fashion, gymnastics, volleyball, Starbucks, sushi, sweets, and especially her friends! Swimming in the pool and ocean with her cousins in Florida and California is her favorite way to spend vacation. Addie loves to make you laugh, spending time with family, jumping on the trampoline, watching her favorite shows, playing basketball after school, trying on clothes to find the best outfit and hanging out with her friends—especially if they go shopping.

Addison is a very special, intelligent young woman and we are proud and excited to be celebrating this Simcha with our entire community!

The 2021/2022 school year has begun! Don't miss out on the great year planned with in-person classes, Tefillah with Cantor Sharon Brown-Levy, enrichment classes, All Things Israel with Talia Goldberg our community Shicha, holiday parties, the 10th grade L'Taken trip, the 8th/9th grade Los Angeles trip, fundraising events, a babysitting hour before Yeladim, and much more.
