Introducing First Roots – A Joyful Jewish Beginning

At Kol Ami, we believe every child deserves a joyful beginning—one filled with friendship, belonging, and meaningful Jewish experiences. That’s why we’re excited to introduce First Roots, our new welcome initiative for young families.

Families enrolling their oldest child in JK, SK, or Grade 1 at Kol Ami Hebrew School will receive complimentary synagogue membership until their oldest child enters Grade 2. Hebrew School tuition applies.

To learn more about First Roots and our Hebrew School, please contact Jenn Katz, Director of Education at [email protected] or visit our website to learn more at https://www.kolami.ca/youth-family/first-roots/
