Kol Ami — The Northern Virginia Reconstructionist Community
Kol Ami — The Northern Virginia Reconstructionist Community
Kol Ami is made up of progressive Jews whose practice is egalitarian, interactive, traditional and modern. We see God’s face in everyone: Jews by birth, Jews by choice, interfaith families; male, female, transgender, or non-binary; all races and ethnic backgrounds; single, married, divorced, separated, or partnered; straight, gay, lesbian, or bisexual; babies, seniors, and any age in between; fully-abled, disabled, or a person of differing abilities. We meet in Arlington VA and we welcome everyone! Kol Ami is an affiliate of the Reconstructing Judaism movement, and is the only Reconstructionist congregation in Virginia.
Celebrating our Jewish souls.
Expanding our Jewish minds.
Reconstructing our Jewish hearts.

We’ll be outdoors in person at our host place of worship, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington for a celebration of Simchat Torah and the dedication of our new ark. Join us for the festivities in song, dance, and a short play, as we close out the reading of the Torah and begin again at the start.

Rabbi Bruce is back with a dynamic weekly Torah study session — this year on Wednesday lunchtimes. Drop in on occasion or make it a weekly date on your calendar. It’s always engaging, lively, and insightful. This year we extend a special welcome to members of Congregation Beth Emeth and Fauquier Jewish Congregation who may be joining us.
October 17, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
A year-long class for people interested in knowing more about Jewish culture, beliefs, history, and practices, starting October 17, 2021 and running through June 2022. Meetings will be held on Sunday at 11 am every other week. Plans are to have an introductory outdoor meeting with masks and social distancing, and occasional outdoor meetings, but to hold most subsequent classes on Zoom until pandemic conditions permit safe in-person indoor meetings.
