Social Justice
Tzedeq
The mission of Congregation Kol Ami’s Social Justice Committee is to meet our responsibility toward tikkun olam (repairing the world) through learning and direct action; to provide opportunities for the congregation to learn about and act upon musar—our ethical responsibilities as Jews in the urban community of Greater Kansas City and the world beyond. Contact Rabbi Doug Alpert with any questions.
Our Activities
Partnering with the Manheim Park + Garden Conservancy
Kol Ami has been invited by the City of Kansas City, Missouri, to help tend the Manheim Park Community Garden at 42nd and Forest. We’re working with the Historic Manheim Park Association and Kansas City Community Gardens to repair the garden and distribute the produce. Tomatoes, peppers, squash and beans have been planted, and volunteer gardeners are needed. For information, contact the Manheim Park + Garden Conservancy, at info@manheimgardens.org, or Steve Sackin.
Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City
The congregation participates in food drives during holidays and throughout the year, as well as adopting individuals or families during holidays - jfskc.org.
