VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY SUPPORT

What is Voluntary Community Support

Kol Ami is a Kehilah Kedoshah – a holy, inclusive community whose members rely on one another and which strives to help people of all ages and backgrounds find joy, meaning and support through Judaism. In line with these values, Kol Ami moved to a Voluntary Community Support (VCS) model replacing traditional membership dues.

VCS is voluntary support of your congregation - to the best of your ability. Just as we share in all that our community has to offer, together as a community we share the cost of supporting the congregation. Members are asked to “stretch” to support Kol Ami at the most generous level that they can.

Be a Sustainer!

Please become a Sustainer of the Congregation. It costs $3,100 per family to run Kol Ami. Last year, 27 of our families gave at one of our Sustaining levels. This is not enough! This year, we need you to join one of these Sustainer levels at Kol Ami:

If every member family were to Step Up their monthly contribution by an additional $54 per month ($648 for the year), Kol Ami would be well on its way to sustainability. Please dig deeply and contribute as generously as you can!

Kol Ami Sustainer Levels

Shir Halleluyah (A Song of Praise): $3,100 and up ($260/month)

Havah Nashirah (Let Us Sing): $5,000 and up ($417/month)

Shir Chadash (A New Song): $7500 and up ($625/month)

Shiru L’Adonai (Sing unto God): $10,000 and up ($833/month)

If you have any questions about Voluntary Community Support please contact the Kol Ami office, email Dana Glickman or contact Membership Chair Ed Yudin.

What amount do you wish to contribute to Kol Ami this year?

Gifts can be divided into as many as 12 monthly installments***
Please enter the amount you wish to contribute this year for your Voluntary Community Support.

ARZA CANADA SUPPORT

ARZA Canada is the Zionist Organization of the Canadian Reform Movement. ARZA Canada works to increase Israel engagement and helps to create an Israel that is both Jewish and democratic. ARZA Canada partners with the growing Israel Reform Movement which is working toward the goals of democracy, equality, and pluralism. ARZA Canada membership dues are $5 per adult 18 years of age and older. Kol Ami members are strongly encouraged to be members of ARZA Canada. We have added added $5 per adult and any child between the ages of 18-25 to your membership in addition to your Voluntary Community Support contribution.

If you have any questions or would NOT like to be an ARZA Canada member, please contact the office.

Nut Awareness Policy

We have a number of students who suffer from severe nut allergies. Even trace amounts of a problem food can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction.

Please help us maintain a safe community by keeping all nuts and nut products out of the school (peanuts, walnuts, almonds and all other tree nuts). Even those foods labelled with “may contain" or "traces of" in the list of ingredients can be harmful. We appreciate your assistance in making the school safe for every student.

While we strive to be a nut aware facility, we cannot guarantee that your child will not come into contact with products containing nuts. Every reasonable effort will be made to provide a nut aware environment at Kol Ami. Our Staff, members, and students cannot be held responsible. The ultimate responsibility lies with the parents and student to ensure their safety. It is therefore important that if your child has serious allergies, inform us upon registration, and provide any necessary instructions and an EpiPen.

Who is allowed to pick up your child(ren) from school?

Please enter one or more names of people you authorize to pick up your child(ren) after school.
