Congregation Kol Ami was founded in 1963 by a group of individuals who were looking for a synagogue that would provide the type of services they desired. These people wanted a synagogue that was in-line with the principles and philosophy of Reconstructing Judaism at the time which emphasized intellectualism as well as spirituality, so they decided to found their own congregation.
The congregation is committed to providing spiritual growth and development through participation in meaningful worship and study, as well as through community service. The congregation observes an array of holy days throughout the year to commemorate our faith.
The congregation offers a variety of courses for people of all ages and backgrounds. This includes youth programs, adult education, Hebrew classes, bar and bat mitzvahs, baby namings, and much more.
Beth DeRicco is the current president of the congregation. She has been an active member of various committees and a relied upon voice in the community.
