News from Kol Ami

on Sunday, 23 August 2015.

On behalf of Board and myself, I would like to welcome back to Kol Ami all of our returning members and offer a warm welcome to our new members. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Rosh Hashanah services.

As we welcome the new year and go through the process of personal reflection during the High Holy Days, please consider participating in some of the wonderful programming offered at Kol Ami. We now offer three regularly scheduled opportunities for you to expand your knowledge of Judaism; our weekly and lively Torah study, our monthly Torah and Sushi lunch (now studying Maimonides) or our new Thursday morning program – Chai Mitzvah. Perhaps these programs are not to your liking but you are inspired by the wonderful music of our choir and love to sing. If so, consider joining them as our choir regularly hold auditions and would love to welcome new members, or if you would rather sit back and experience more great music, please join us for our monthly Rock Shabbat service. Our professional and lay leaders are constantly looking for ways to help you experience Judaism in ways that are meaningful to you; if there is something you are looking for please reach out to a member of the Board or to the Rabbi with your ideas.

In the weeks prior to Rosh Hashanah you should be hearing from a member of our Board to wish you and your family Shana Tova. It is the goal of our Board to be in regular contact with our members throughout the year to advise of upcoming events and to be available to discuss any open issues. In an effort to build relationships with our members, a specific Board member has been assigned to you for the year. This is a point of contact for you if you require anything from the Temple leadership. We look forward to discussing your ideas, requests and concerns throughout this year.

Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy and sweet New Year.

Shana Tova,

Mark Wolpert
