Congregation Kol Emeth Employee Directory

We are an everybody-friendly congregation, and we cordially invite people of all backgrounds and faith practices to participate in the KE community. We warmly welcome couples with one Jewish partner, and their families, to join us in prayer, learning, and celebration. We are committed to ensuring that our community is inclusive and supportive to fa... milies and extended families. Partners of Jewish members who hail from other religious backgrounds are encouraged to be full members of our congregation, vote at congregational meetings, fulfill the honor of opening the Ark, and join family and friends on the bima for life cycle blessings and other honors. We are deeply committed to supporting all our members, and honoring the diversity of individuals and families. Partners of Jewish members are welcome to actively participate in all KE groups and committees except for the Board of Directors. Religious services are open to everyone, regardless of religion. Individuals must be Jewish to be called to the Torah and lead certain parts of the service. There are, however, many opportunities for meaningful involvement in services. Greeters and ushers are present at every service, and they are happy to help anyone understand the service. According to Jewish law, Judaism is matrilineal and passed down from mothers to children. KE's Rabbis are happy to discuss this ruling with parents, discuss whether the conversion process is relevant, and work with families to ensure that children can become Bar or Bat Mitzvah.Read More
