High Holy Day Message
Kol Ami is a home of joyful Judaism for all — a place to find inspiration, belonging, and strength. As we enter the High Holy Days, we invite you to watch this year’s message from Rabbi Malcolm and Cantor Jen. Thanks to a generous $15,000 matching grant, your support this season will go twice as far. L’Shana Tovah!
Project Isaiah: Food Drive
September 8 - October 17
Join us in answering the call of the Prophet Isaiah—“Is it not to share your bread with the hungry?” This High Holiday season, we are partnering in the Jewish community’s annual Project Isaiah collection to support the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. From September 8–October 17, bring nonperishable food items to help our neighbors facing hunger.
Donation boxes can be found near the Rubin Family Sanctuary and by the admin office.
