Families are at the heart of Kol Ami. We create meaningful experiences that bring parents, children, and caregivers together through Jewish learning, traditions, and celebrations. From holiday gatherings and family Shabbat dinners to immersive educational programs, Kol Ami offers opportunities for families to connect, explore, and grow together in a welcoming and supportive community.
Check out our upcoming family programs and events on our community calendar.
Tot Shabbat
Tot Shabbat is a musical and interactive monthly program designed for young children and their families. Through Jewish songs, movement, storytelling, and prayer led by experienced song leader Ari Jacobson, little ones can experience the joy of Shabbat in a welcoming, engaging atmosphere.
The monthly program begins at 11 AM, and afterward, families are invited to join the community kiddush at 12 PM.

B‑Mitzvah Shmooze
Several times a year, the Rabbi meets with B‑Mitzvah students and their families for informal “shmooze” sessions. Together, they explore what it means to come of age in our Jewish community — reflecting on values, responsibilities, and personal growth on the journey toward becoming B‑Mitzvah. These gatherings provide a warm space for open dialogue, shared learning, and meaningful connection among students, families, and the wider Kol Ami community.
Jewish Children’s Education Program
Our Kol Ami Hebrew School welcomes children ages 6–12 to explore Jewish traditions, Hebrew, ethics, culture, and prayer in a warm, engaging community.
With small class sizes and dedicated teachers, every child receives personalized attention in a supportive learning environment where they can build lasting friendships, confidence, and a meaningful connection to Jewish life.
