Kol Ami is made up of progressive Jews whose practice is egalitarian, interactive, traditional and modern. We see God’s face in all: 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; crawling babies, seniors, any age in between; fully-abled, disabled, or a person of differing abilities. We meet in Arlington with members from throughout greater DC. Kol Ami is an affiliate of the Jewish Reconstructionist Movement. Celebrating our Jewish souls. Expanding our Jewish minds. Reconstructing our Jewish hearts.

Kol Ami is monitoring the weather for Sunday. In the event of extreme weather or if the Arlington school system is closed, the Seder will be rescheduled. Check back on Sunday morning at 11:00 am for an update.
The Seder is a festive gathering, featuring fruits and nuts in honor of the Jewish holiday of Tu BiShvat, the New Year of the Trees. Although Tu BiShvat has become a modern Jewish environmental holiday, the Seder comes from the Kabbalists of Safed, Israel in the 16th century who associated specific fruits and nuts with a mystical understanding of the world. Our JCEP families will be on hand as we sample fruits and nuts from the four worlds and renew our commitment to healing this planet.
Please let us know if you’ll be coming and sign up to bring one or more of the items we’ll need to celebrate

Barcroft Park
The first group Kol Ami Tikkun Olam project for 2019 is coming up this month with Volunteer Arlington’s MLK Day of Service. Since MLK day is happening around the same time as Tu BiShvat (the “New Year for Trees”), we’re participating in a environmentally themed project sponsored by EcoAction Arlington to clear trash and debris from Four Mile Run Stream, throughout Barcroft Park, and along Four Mile Run Drive. We’ll meet at the restroom/refreshment kiosk near the baseball field. For more info (scroll to the EcoAction project).
This family friendly service opportunity is a chance to get outside and active (hoping it won’t be too cold!), help clean up a local green space, and spend time with other Kolamites!
Each participant needs to register individually – which you can do here: (select the EcoAction Arlington project). Please let Mattie Cohan know you’re planning on attending so she can keep track of the participating community members for the project.
