Welcome to Temple Kol Ami! We are a relationship-centric Reform Jewish community in Scottsdale, Arizona that honors tradition while embracing innovation. We see ourselves as a force for good, “doing Jewish” across the Valley via unique social action programs. There’s something for everyone at TKA: an outstanding Early Childhood Center, a Religious School that kids love to attend, an active Boomers group (55+), and many more meaningful opportunities for education, volunteerism, spiritual growth, and fun.
The only constant about Temple Kol Ami is its membership’s willingness to continue the search for excellence, wherever that search may lead.
We are a reform Jewish congregation in Scottsdale, Arizona, that honors its past and the achievements of the countless generations that have brought us together as a congregation in the 21st century, and looks for ways and means to instill our children with an abiding sense of who they are as Jews and as citizens of the world.
We see our congregation as a force for good and decency in our own lives, and a force of change for the better in various communities beyond our walls.
We engage in acts of social justice repeatedly throughout the year. Our children support hundreds of Jewish elderly in retirement and nursing facilities with shelach manot (goodie bags) for Purim, New Years cards and Passover bags. Our Youth Groupers engage in food drives, serve as counselors at Camp SWIFT for children from economically challenged families as well as their school tutors throughout the year. Our families share in food drives, citrus gleaning for the food banks, clothing drives and provide volunteers for a broad variety of social service providers. And that is just a beginning!
We see our congregation as a place for our intellectual growth, our spiritual growth and our social well being.
All with the focus of increasing our commitment to our Jewish faith and its demands on us to help perfect the world as a partner with God.
