New!
The Synagogue Village
Currently being developed - the first inter-congregational neighborhood-based Village network in LA; it will be built on a foundation of Jewish values and community.
This venture brings congregations together to create a participatory, intentional community that has the resources, talents, and services to enable Village members to age-in-place.
We are creating a faith-based cooperative community, bridging our individual homes with a network of programs and services designed to support and enrich one another.
Details to come soon!

Join us in September for the High Holy Days - remembering Kol Ami is the place that can help renew you, that sacred community, kehilah kedosha, where we can cry and laugh, question and find answers, live and love.
I invite you to begin again. We are almost at the beginning of the New Year, and there is the potential of a new you. It is a season of renewal and reinvention. As we join together to reinvent ourselves, let's join together to reinvent the Jewish future. Let's return home, to Kol Ami, and let it be the hope of sustenance for you and for me.
Our theme for this year's High Holy Day services is "A New Voice Rising." The New Year is a chance to realize a new you; stronger, better, more clear-headed, more joyous, poised to succeed. As we take this opportunity to create our best selves, together, we can achieve a better, less broken, world.
