This year we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Congregation Kol Ami. We have had an amazing history in these 20 years; growing from a small committed group meeting in a living room to a vibrant community bursting at the walls of our beautiful Temple.
Each year Kol Ami grows stronger because of the involvement and generosity of our members. We are there for each other in our quiet moments of grief and our moments of celebration.
Rabbi Eger is a prominent public face for the important social and religious issues facing the larger community. Cantor Saltzman has premiered original music to a delighted community beyond our Congregation.
There continue to be many avenues to participating; including through ritual, social action, Men of Kol Ami, Women of Kol Ami, Kol Atid or a shoulder to lean on saying Kaddish. Our Congregation offers many paths to being known and being of service.
I look forward to our praying, learning and celebrating together for another year!
Shalom,
David Kaminski- Co-President &
Stuart Leviton- Co-President
Thoughts on Celebrating Rabbi Priesand's Ordination
by Rabbi Denise L. Eger
On this 40th anniversary of Rabbi Sally Priesand’s ordination, I am reflecting on the impact of that moment on our own Reform Judaism, the larger Jewish world and the implications on my own life. Rabbi Priesand is not just the first woman rabbi of contemporary times, but she is a rabbi’s rabbi. She has guided both the men and women of our Movement with her grace, wisdom, and inspiration. She has mentored both rabbis and lay leaders with her deep thoughtfulness, sense of humor and her deep humility. She has taught all of us what it means to define the role of rabbi. But we forget just how radical that act was. We take for granted women in roles in leadership now because of her ordination and we notice when women lay leaders and women rabbis are absent at the helm of our Movement.
