Supporting Our Community

A vibrant community of learning, spiritual growth, and meaningful connections depends on the generosity of our members. Annual membership commitments and donations provide the essential financial support that allows our synagogue to thrive and offer exceptional pastoral care and life cycle services.

The real cost of synagogue life is about $2658 per household annually, but every family contributes at a level that works for them – confidentially and without pressure. Those who can give more help ensure everyone can belong. Your support—at any level—ensures that membership remains accessible to everyone.

Membership connects you to:

Clergy & Care – Life-cycle events and pastoral support.
Worship & Holidays – Weekly Shabbat, High Holy Days, and concerts.
Education & Growth – ECE, Religious School, teen and adult learning.
Community & Relationships – Events, gatherings, and lifelong friendships.
Tikkun Olam – A thriving and active Social action and Justice community

Kol Ami is a diverse community, from young families to seniors on fixed incomes. Membership commitments are based on the actual cost of operating the synagogue, calculated fairly across all households. While contributions may vary, all members have equal access to participation, programs, and the benefits of our community.

Contribution Levels:

Annual Commitment of $1-2,657
Can be billed monthly.
Annual Commitment of $2,658-4,999
