At our core there resides a single idea… simcha… joy…
Kol Tikvah is a special place. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, our temple continues to be a resilient, creative, and consistent resource for all of us. We feel the simcha (joy) as we gather in person, while still maintaining our strong online presence for those who remain at home. Being inclusive and accessible is one of our top priorities.
Belonging to Kol Tikvah reminds us all that when you give to the temple, you are giving to both a spiritual organization and a charity that provides assistance to the local Jewish community as well as all our own congregants.
Your annual congregational commitment goes so far and touches so many.
