Temple Kol Ami Welcomes Guest Clergy
February 2024
By Shari Baum
Temple Kol Ami looks forward to a series of special events and guests that will enrich our congregation’s experience in 2024. We are delighted to announce that Cantor Mary Rebecca Thomas, formerly of Temple Beth El, will lead our Kabbalat Shabbat services on Feb. 2 and March 1 at 7 p.m. at Philadelphia United Methodist Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The February 2 service, marking our celebration of Shabbat Shira, the Sabbath of Song, promises to be a highlight as we anticipate the joy of Cantor Thomas’s beautiful voice in prayer. Additionally, Rabbi Ana Bonnheim will be joining us for select services throughout the year. For specific dates, please visit our calendar at www.templekolamisc.org.
Alongside our bi-monthly Shabbat services, we’re excited to be planning a variety of events including a Purim party, community Passover seder, Holocaust memorial lecture, and more. Our Sisterhood and Youth Group are also planning some fantastic activities. All events are generally open to the public, so we encourage you to keep an eye on our website for updates. We are committed to continuing to build and strengthen our Jewish community in the Greater York County area.
If you live in York County or the Ballantyne/South Charlotte area, Temple Kol Ami may be the place for you! We are a warm and inclusive Reform congregation comprised of Jews from diverse backgrounds. We have in-person Shabbat services generally on the first and third Fridays of the month. We hope you will join us in 2024 and find your Jewish home in our community!
