Kol Ami means “voice of my people,” and that’s exactly what we are – a warm, welcoming community where voices come together in prayer, learning, celebration, and support.

Serving southern York Region and northern Toronto, Kol Ami is a spirited Reform congregation rooted in family, inclusivity, and lifelong Jewish connection.

Our vibrant community embraces:
