Youth & Family Programming
Kol Ami offers a wide range of youth and family programs designed to strengthen Jewish identity and community connection. Through engaging experiences—both in and beyond the synagogue—families discover the joy of Jewish life together while building relationships that last a lifetime.
The Mishpochah Project
The Mishpochah Project is Kol Ami’s new family engagement initiative, made possible through a generous grant from Jewish Philanthropies of Southern Arizona (JPSA). Rooted in the Yiddish word for “family,” Mishpochah brings together Jewish and Jewish-adjacent families to explore Jewish life with joy, meaning, and connection. Through six signature programs, families with children can learn, celebrate, and grow together—building friendships, deepening their connection to Jewish traditions, and creating lasting memories. More than a series of events, The Mishpochah Project is a growing community of families walking the Jewish path together with warmth, curiosity, and heart.
