Rabbi Jonathan Sacks writes, “The world we build tomorrow is born in the prayers we say today.”
Rabbi Lindy Reznick creates a hamische (homey/comfortable) atmosphere, safe for spiritual nurturing and connection. Each service, each day, offers opportunities to discover new insights into traditional prayer and to express original insights from the heart. Prayer at Congregation Kol Ami is infused with both Judaic traditions and contemporary experience, respecting and welcoming everyone: lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and gender non-conforming people and allies; people of color; Jews by choice and Jews by birth; interfaith couples; and people of all ages — truly everyone!
Everyone is empowered to speak their truth, pray in their own way, and raise their voice in prayer. And more.
The name, Kol Ami, means “Voice of My People. Kol Ami is a joyous, singing congregation. Music is a vibrant part of our worship, expressed in many musical genres: traditional, jazz, pop, current camp melodies, and the works of talented contemporary Jewish composers. Here, the new and the traditional, the secular and the spiritual, the present and the past, the realities of life and the exploration of God reside together as we pray and sing e together in harmony.
