Kol Ami is a proud affiliate of the Reconstructing Judaism movement and the only Reconstructionist congregation in Virginia. As the fourth branch of Judaism, Reconstructionism blends tradition with innovation, fostering spiritual growth through inclusivity, egalitarianism, and deep engagement. The movement has its own rabbinical seminary and over 100 affiliated congregations and havurot nationwide.
We are a growing, caring community of progressive Jews dedicated to sustaining Jewish life in an interactive, welcoming, and spiritually rich environment. 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 come together in times of celebration and healing — for worship, deep conversation, learning, and mutual support — as we explore how Judaism can enrich our lives and strengthen our community.
We meet in Arlington, VA, and welcome everyone!
