What They Are Saying...
As an interfaith family living in South Jersey, we love the welcoming clergy and inclusive environment of Kol Ami. Rabbi Frenkel does a wonderful job of modernizing the teachings of Torah for both adults and children. There is something for everyone here, from the ECC and RS to numerous committees and opportunities to engage with the community.
— The Blazar Family
In Kol Ami, we have found a home that embodies our Jewish traditions and culture while fostering the love, kindness, compassion and respect that we value for our family. We are so grateful for the meaningful and supportive relationships that have grown from this community!
— The Baron Family
Kol Ami is the perfect fit for me! My love for singing directed me straight to our incredible choir family under the wonderful leadership of our Cantor. As a former board member and committee chair, I love now serving as one of the Membership co-chairs. I am always happy to say Hineni (I am here!), whenever asked for my help. Life at Kol Ami is great – services, special events and making new friends… Being a Kol Ami member is a gift. Join me on Shabbat, I will always save a seat next to me for you.

We are founding members of Congregation Kol Ami. We have two children in Religious School. Since joining, we have been inspired and educated by our wonderful clergy. Our family is actively involved with Hebrew school, Social Action, Sisterhood, the Men’s softball team, youth groups, family programming, and so much more. We are happy to call Kol Ami our second home.
— The Riviello Family
We are truly grateful for Congregation Kol Ami. CKA offers a warm Jewish experience filled with music, art and tradition. Our family loves to be a part of this convergent community. As our children have grown within these walls, they’ve been given the opportunity to socialize and explore their Jewish identity. While they are drawn into the synagogue, CKA Religious School has empowered them to discover their Jewish roots. The clergy and staff engage so beautifully with our children to create memories that will remain with them for their lifetime.
— The Marinoff Family
We joined the congregation while dating and were interested in establishing roots in an inclusive and educational synagogue. We were impressed with how each staff member was personable and eagerly engaged in affirming what jewish life and faith really means, while personally investing in helping us build our jewish family and community within the congregation. Friday night Shabbat Service re-frames the narrative of the week and the Rabbi’s words shape shift the meaning of what we so often take for granted and provide a new paradigm to the struggles we sometimes face. We decided to have our wedding in the congregation as a foundation for our growing family. We’ve had numerous opportunities to observe Hebrew school students engage with staff and speak to a full congregation on their love of being jewish! We can’t wait to see our own do the same in the years to come!
— Konrad & Sabina
We look forward to seeing YOU in our hallways soon!
