Together At Kol AmiSmall Group Activities

At Kol Ami, we believe in the power of small groups to build meaningful connections within our community. Our Circles are lay-led gatherings designed around shared interests—from Torah study and social action to book clubs, cooking, and more. These groups exist because members like you have expressed interest in both leading and participating. While some ideas are still taking shape, we're continually working to offer more options as leaders step forward. When you sign up for a Circle, you'll join others to plan future meeting dates and activities together. Some Circles held at the synagogue will have set times, typically on Monday or Tuesday evenings. If you have an idea for a new group, we're here to support you in getting it off the ground. Join a Circle, start a new one, and help us create vibrant connections throughout our Kol Ami community.

You must sign up for an event so we know you are coming.

If you don't sign up we might think nobody is interested and cancel.
