Religious School Mission  

The goal of the Congregation Kol Ami's Religious School is to instill Jewish pride in our children, as well as a strong sense of heritage and history, a keen awareness of the values by which we live, and the tools to practice their religion and culture in a contemporary society.

In our Religious School we currently have enrolled over 100 children. The students are trained through the Kol Ami teaching staff that includes a faculty of 16 teachers. A registration form is available through the congregation office. The two components are Judaica and Hebrew. School accepts registration for children from 4 yrs of age (for the Pre-Kindergarten class) through 10th grade (for the Confirmation class).

  • Judaica classes for grades Pre-K through 8th grade are offered on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. until 11:45 a.m.
  • The Hebrew program formally begins in 3rd grade, and classes for 3rd grade through 7th grade are offered on Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m..
  • B'nai Mitzvah preparation is offered in 6th grade to students with adequate or better Hebrew skills.
  • Confirmation class for 9th and 10th graders is currently held from 1:00 p.m. until 2:30 pm the second and fourth Sunday of each month.
  • Continuing education for post-Confirmation students and adults is offered on a variety of topics in our Adult Education program.
