OUR SUCCESS STORY...

Early Spring, 2015, a core group of passionate  individuals with a spiritual mindset that had witnessed their spiritual home, of over four decades, merging to the western area, pulled up their sleeves and went to work to keep a Conservative Synagogue in the area.  What was perceived to be a dormant area with very limited Jewish growth, certainly has proven to contradict those speculations.  In a matter of two months, individuals from the former synagogue made their way to the temporary location, established their new model synagogue, and their voices were heard to perpetuate Judaism in their neighborhood.  "Kol Chaverim," the name that was chosen to reflect the voices of everyone that participated to select our new name.  

We are "building tomorrow's synagogue today" to reinforce the tenets of Judaism so that our children can pass it on to their children.   Our best practice to doing this is to make it easy and seamless for anyone to participate.  Our fair share and relaxed dues structure ensures any individual to be able to affiliate with us.  Our space that we inhabit is our "tent open on all four sides" meaning that we welcome all those who desire to be a part of a synagogue that will be their spiritual home for generations to come.  We take it one step further, no one in our community shall not have a place to pray for the High Holidays, therefore we do not restrict tickets to non-members, our request of a donation is suggested and not required.  It is most important that no one is left without a spiritual place to pray!
