Join Kol Ami for a delicious, kosher Passover feast. Enjoy new recipes and old friends! Each year, we make a special effort to celebrate the second night of Passover together, as a community.
It's a time for us to remember our traditions, share memories of Passovers past and look forward to the future that lies ahead. As we turn the corner into our 25th year together, let's sit across the table from one another to celebrate our heritage and our home.
Enrich the conversation around your Seder table and check out HIAS' (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) special Haggadah Supplement on remembering refugees.

Home is where you relax.
Home is where you breathe.
Home is where you let loose.
Home is where you can be yourself.
But, when was the last time you explored what it means to be you?
What does it means to be us?
It's time we talked about "Who are Jew?"

Congregation Kol Ami needs your help to raise funds for the children living in Guatemala. Funds that pay for housing, education and medical treatments. On our annual mission trip, our members have met families that have touched their hearts. These connections remained top of the mind throughout the year.
Imagine building a home for a family to provide shelter and safety.
Imagine a child walking again with the aid of prostheses and a young girl smiling for the first time after surgery for a cleft palate.
Imagine sponsoring an entire year of education for more than a dozen children.
It is our goal to return this year with the ability to make an even larger impact than before. Donate to our Tikkun Olam service trip and help us improve the Lives of the Children in Guatemala
Our goal is to raise $5,500. and with your help this great mitzvah is possible.
Give now to be the lasting difference in a child's life.
