Am Kolel's June 2026 Annual Appeal

Celebrating 36 Years of Building Community & Pursuing Justice

This year, Am Kolel turns 36 — Double Chai. In Jewish tradition, a double chai means an abundance of life. And that’s exactly what this community has created together over thirty-six years: an abundance of life, of meaning, and of purpose.

This Appeal supports all the various Am Kolel programs such as holiday celebrations, outreach and adult education and their associated operating and administrative costs.
