Kol Ami is for Kids Too!

Our goal is to create positive Jewish experiences for families and foster connections within the Kol Ami congregation.

Our monthly Tots’ Shabbat is an immersive program intended for children of all ages as  joyful introduction to Shabbat, filled with Jewish song, movement, storytelling, and prayer.  Ari Jacobson returns as our Tot’s Shabbat leader on Saturday mornings at 11:00 am for  a musical, engaging program to introduce your little ones to a Shabbat experience.

The Jewish Children’s Education Program (JCEP) provides our children with strong connections to Jewish traditions, culture, and ethics as well as prayers and the Hebrew language.  From age 6 thru 12, children dive into Jewish living and Hebrew prayers within a warm and supportive environment. Our program features dedicated parent-teachers and intimate class sizes, ensuring that every child receives personalized attention.

Our teens prepare for meaningful, customized B-Mitzvahs in a program that includes JCEP classes, private tutoring, meeting with the rabbi, and B-Mitzvah Shmooze sessions with the cohort of B-Mitzvah families and the rabbi.

We also host occasional Family Shabbat Dinners where we let go of the week with a relaxed and joyous Shabbat gathering.
