Founded in 1958, we are an independent congregation with its roots in the Reform movement. A synagogue is a house of worship, study, and gathering. We are a place where all Jews feel welcome and comfortable. We learn from each other and grow together. We accept people wherever they are in their Jewish experience, and offer the opportunity to grow in the direction they choose. Together, we form a diverse family, bound together by our love of Judaism - and each other! Come discover why Temple Beth Emet is like no other temple you have ever experienced! We would love to have you be part of our family!

Congregation Kol Ami is a progressive, Reform congregation rooted in a rich Jewish tradition, with commitment to social justice, diversity, and a world in which all individuals are honored and connected. Our congregation celebrates an LGBTQ+ core at the center of a profoundly diverse community: Queer and Straight people; single, coupled and families; Jews by Choice and Birth, Jews of Color; Interfaith couples and families; Single people and those in 12 steps programs and those differently abled.

On Friday, July 22, 2022, the Congregation Kol Ami’s Board of Trustees announced the retirement plans of our Founding Senior Rabbi, Denise L. Eger. While making the announcement was with mixed emotions, we are incredibly grateful to Rabbi Eger for enriching our lives and nourishing our souls for the past 30 years, and we look forward to her continued presence as our First Rabbi Emerita.

Interest-free loans fill an important gap in our social system by promoting self-sufficiency and dignity. Traditionally, individuals must have one to two guarantors to secure an interest-free loan from JFLA, but our Federation, , has made it possible to make higher-risk loans to Jewish individuals who do not have the luxury of a guarantor. JFLA lends at a 1:2 ratio against the funds we have provided; with JFLA lending two dollars for every dollar in our Interest-Free Loan Fund. If a client defaults on the loan, and the collection process does not yield payment, funds from the Federation’s Interest-Free Loan Fund will be drawn. Interest Free Loans from the Jewish Free Loan Association (jfla.org)
