News from Kol Ami

on Sunday, 25 October 2015.

Now that we have made it through the High Holy Days and are in the month of Heshvan, where thankfully there are no holidays at all, the Board has had some time to reflect on how our High Holy Day services served our Kol Ami community.

The feedback received from our High Holy Days committee, as well as feedback from many of our members, covers over 30 items which will be sent to committee for review and to make recommendations on each of the suggestions provided. Our hope is that we can continue to make our High Holy Day services the best in the GTA and provide services that appeal to both members and guests.

After careful consideration at our Board meeting on Monday October 19th, the Board voted to search for a new Cantorial Soloist for next year and a search committee will be struck in the next few weeks to begin the process. Our aim is to hire someone by the spring so that they have adequate time to rehearse with our choir. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Rachelle for all she has done for Kol Ami over the past two years as she has shared her beautiful voice with us.

As a point of clarification, please note that Julie Sermer will continue to be our Cantorial Soloist for B’nai Mitzvah during 2015-16.

L’shalom
