Early Childhood Service (ages 0–6) is a joyful 30-minute service, parents alongside (not a drop-off). Family services are geared toward ages 8+ and their families together (also not a drop-off). Shoresh Chag (grades K–5) is a full drop-off program of hands-on learning — and childcare for ages 0–5 runs at the same time, alongside Shoresh Chag, so parents of younger children can be in services too.

Visitors are warmly welcome

Visitors & Non-members

We would love to have you

Please complete the registration form to reserve your place. A suggested donation of $250 per person helps make these days possible — and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.

Heads up: the form is timed, so have your info ready before you start — name, email, and phone for everyone in your party, and (for children) names, ages, school, allergies, and an emergency contact.

The best way to belong here isn’t a one-time visit — it’s joining our community. Through our Brit Kehilah (community commitment), you choose the level of support that’s meaningful to you; membership is open to all, with pledge tiers as guideposts, not gates. Complete our Brit Kehilah and make KAMII your home.

Book of Remembrance

Each Yom Kippur, during Yizkor, we honor those who came before us. Members are invited to add their loved ones’ names — the Book will be available online and in print for those attending the Yizkor service. If you can’t attend and would like a printed copy mailed, email info@kamii.org. Please submit names by Monday, September 8.

New this year: honor a loved one with a personalized memorial page on our Memorial Wall — a lasting space where family, friends, and community can share stories, photographs, and video, and add memories year after year. Free to begin.

Book of Remembrance

The Book of Remembrance is a cherished tradition where we honor departed loved ones. Every Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, we reflect on those who’ve passed – recently or in years past. The book includes those memorialized through plaques and dedicated rooms in our Sanctuary. This year, the Book of Remembrance will be online and printed for the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur. Can’t attend? Request a printed copy. To include names, complete the form by Monday, September 08, 2026
