Congregation Kol Ami

Congregation Kol Ami Kol Ami is a Reform Jewish Congregation serving the Jewish population of Redmond, Woodinville, Duvall, Bothell, Kirkland, and nearby communities.

Founded in 1984, Congregation Kol Ami was formerly a Reconstructionist havurah known as the Northshore Jewish Community. For almost a decade, a core group of individuals kept the Jewish spirit alive on the Eastside, meeting in family homes. By the late 1990’s, the tiny community took the next step and rented meeting space. In June of 1999, Congregation Kol Ami was accepted into the UAHC (now the U

RJ). In 2000, as new residents in our current Bear Creek/Cottage Lake home, Kol Ami hired Drorah Setel, the community’s first part-time rabbi. We were then fortunate to learn and grow with Rabbi Laurie Rice for several years. In 2005, we were equally blessed to enjoy the scholarly teachings and spiritual leadership of Mark Glickman. In July of 2014, we eagerly embraced our current rabbi Yohanna Kinberg. Our congregation has grown since the new millennium. Our school has flourished and we have witnessed the coming of age of many bright and beautiful B’nai Mitzvah students—they honor and inspire us all. While our community continues to change and grow, a significant constant in our lives is the value we place on relationships with each other and collectively, our Kehilah Kedoshah, our Sacred Community.
