Kol Hai Supports the journey of the soul

Through the music and mindfulness central to Jewish Renewal, Kol Hai creates an inclusive, collaborative, spiritual community—nourishing the sparks that exist in us all to take light back into our lives and the world around us. 

What does inclusion look like at Kol Hai? 

Welcoming Jews and non-Jews, LGBTQ+,  all ethnicities,  races and ages. we are intentional about this through programming and outreach. We are committed to access for people regardless of financial status by having tiered ticketing, scholarships, and pay what you can options. Inclusivity also extends to the ways in which we engage with the topics of the day, whether local or international in scope. We welcome all opinions, especially from those who are too often left out. 

What does collaboration look like at Kol Hai? 

We do not have one leader. In 2024 we switched to a collaborative leadership model, working with a rotating group of spiritual leaders, each with their own unique style. We’re in the process of working with those leaders to build out offerings for the Kol Hai community such as adult education, pastoral support, lifecycle events, and children’s programming. 

What does spirituality look like at Kol Hai? 

Spirituality looks like singing, dancing, lying comfortably and quietly on a yoga mat, supported physically and emotionally by those around you. We tend to pray in a circle—this is on purpose, creating an egalitarian, resilient space to hold our congregants and whatever they bring into the room with them. 

Do I have to be Jewish? 

Nope! We love welcoming folks of all faiths, folks who are questioning, or even just a little curious to join us for services. 

Do I have to know the words? 

Our prayer books have the words in Hebrew, English transliteration, and English translation. And when in doubt you can always hum along!
