Kol Ami

We are a welcoming and egalitarian Reform congregation of about 130 families located in Kirkland, WA. We nurture an atmosphere of openness and friendship, encouraging members of our community to plant or transplant Jewish roots. We welcome empty-nesters, LGBTQ individuals and families, interfaith families, Jews-by-choice, visitors, and anyone who's interested in discovering, rediscovering, or affirming Judaism. We are guided by the URJ Sacred Partnership model in how we relate with each other, our Board, Staff, and Rabbi. We focus on our responsibility to the shared goals and common good of our congregation. We practice using the tools of respect, trust, honesty, listening and communication, transparency, confidentiality, flexibility to build and nurture those sacred partnerships. They all require a willingness from each person to be vulnerable toward others.

If you have questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact the Co-Presidents of Kol Ami.
