Congregation Kol Ami Since our founding in 1992, Kol Ami has become an important leader in the Jewish, GLBTQI and West Hollywood communities. We find inspiration in our traditions.

Congregation Kol Ami, West Hollywood's reform synagogue, is a progressive congregation rooted in rich Jewish tradition, and committed to social justice, Israel, and diversity! Our commitment to progressive spirituality, diversity, inclusion and social justice has been celebrated nationwide. Kol Ami, West Hollywood’s premier Reform synagogue, has grown to be an award-winning congregation by daring to be innovative while remaining rooted in Jewish tradition and practice. Rabbi Eger once summed up beautifully why we exist as a synagogue.
“I believe Judaism has ancient wisdom for our contemporary lives. That is why I study it, teach it and try to live a life of Jewish values and meaning. Judaism has spiritual depth that continues to speak to us in our day and time.”

The constant search for identity, justice, wisdom, love—in short, a life well-lived— is what brings us together as a community. We return to our roots for guidance and we turn to each other for support and friendship.

“May we be reminded of our journey through the wilderness. May we be reminded of all the places we stopped and started again. And may we be reminded that we can yet dream and become the people God imagined us to be.” – Rabbi Denise Eger

What a beautiful season of reflection, celebration, and community at Kol Ami! 💙✡️

From welcoming 5787 together at Rosh Hashanah, to the meaningful moments of Yom Kippur and our break fast, this High Holy Day season reminded us just how special it is to share Jewish traditions with the people around us.

We came together for Sukkot; progressed in our civic duties at the WOKA Women's Circle and MOKA Men's Circle; sang our hearts out at the Open Yad Karaoke, and Sangria in the Sukkah; and wrapped up this holiday season with the joy of Simchat Torah.

Through prayer, music, food, friendship, and a whole lot of Jewish joy, each gathering brought us a little closer together. Thank you to everyone who joined us, volunteered, and helped make this season so meaningful for us, and especially for you!

Whether you've been part of Kol Ami for years or are just getting to know us, there's always a place for you in our community. Here's to another year of learning, growing, praying, and making amazing memories together! 💙

Today, on National Coming Out Day, we celebrate the courage it takes to live openly, honestly, and as your full self. 🌈✡️

At Kol Ami, we believe everyone deserves a community where they can be seen, supported, and welcomed exactly as they are. Coming out can look different for everyone, and there is no single timeline or “right” way to do it. Whether you are out, still figuring things out, or supporting someone you love, you belong.

Today and every day, we celebrate LGBTQ+ identity, Jewish pride, and the power of showing up as your whole self. 💙

What a joyful way to close out the holiday season ✡️🎉

For Simchat Torah, our community came together to celebrate the completion of the Torah reading cycle and the beginning of a new one. There was singing, dancing, learning, and so much joy as we gathered around Torah and shared the moment together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the celebration so special. Here’s to another year of learning, questioning, growing, and celebrating as a community.

Chag Sameach from Kol Ami 💙

We're revisiting our amazing 2026 Tribute Gala, themed "Gold Records for the Silver Screen". It was a night filled with music, laughter, generosity, and so many familiar faces coming together to support our community and honor some of the amazing Jewish songwriters that we all love!

Chag Sameach, and here’s to many more reasons to sing, dance, and celebrate together. 💙✡️

Your dream sukkah.. what would it look like? 🌿✨

We asked members of our community to get creative and imagine the ultimate sukkah. Cozy, over-the-top, surrounded by nature, filled with friends, or maybe somewhere completely unexpected.

Sukkot is all about gathering, joy, hospitality, and appreciating the spaces we share, so why not dream a little?

A full Sukkot weekend of community, connection, and a little civic action 🌿✨

We gathered after Shabbat for a beautiful Moroccan Dinner, then kept the weekend going with our Women Of Kol Ami Women’s Circle and the Men Of Kol Ami Men’s Circle. There was plenty of good food, drinks, conversation, and time to simply enjoy being together, as well as some nonpartisan civic engagement, writing postcards encouraging people to register and make their voices heard in the upcoming November midterm elections. A weekend filled with celebration, friendship, and showing up for the communities we are part of. 💙

What do you personally love most about Sukkot? 🌿🍋✨

For some, it’s the joy of gathering in the sukkah. For others, it’s the traditions, the food, the sense of gratitude, or simply getting to spend time together as a community.

We asked Kol Ami to share what makes Sukkot meaningful to them, and their answers are a beautiful reminder that Jewish tradition can be experienced in so many personal ways.
