NEW KOL AMI GRIEF GROUP
First meeting next Tuesday
Kol Ami is offering a grief support group for anyone who has lost a loved one. If you have experienced a recent loss or have grief that has not diminished with the passing of time, sometimes called unattended grief, this group is for you.
Please RSVP to Larry Levi at 310.492.5005. This group is free for Kol Ami members, $25/meeting for non-members (no one will be turned away due to lack of funds).
The group will meet at Kol Ami monthly for 6 months, on the first Tuesday of the month from 8-9:30pm, starting October 7th.

Greetings!
Thank you for joining us for an incredible Rosh Hashanah, we look forward to seeing every one for Yom Kippur. In addition to being incredible services, Yom Kippur will also be the last service Cantor Mark Saltzman shares with us before he retires as our Cantor Emeritus.  We wanted to take a moment to say "Thank You" to the Cantor for all his years of dedicated, creative, moving and personal service he has given our community.
These 19 years have been at time of growth and change for the Cantor, the synagogue and the community, and we deeply appreciate his work to co-create such an incredible, warm, welcoming and loving home here at Kol Ami.
We wish Cantor Saltzman, Walter and Megan, a joyous New Year, filled with new discoveries and adventures. We look forward to hearing from him about his new projects, both around the world and here in Los Angeles.
Thank you for 19 years of incredible service, and Yasher Koach, Cantor Saltzman!
