Doing Jewish Differently
We celebrate Jewish identity and culture by replacing worship with human responsibility and equality.
People not Prayer
Human beings have the intelligence and wisdom to determine the purpose and course of their lives, free of supernatural guidance.
Welcoming Intercultural Families and LGBTQIA+
Everyone should celebrate who they are, including intercultural families who feel connected to both Jewish and other religious or cultural heritages.

Engaging Rabbi
"To be Jewish is to be an heir to Jewish tradition, not a museum curator. The tradition is ours to adapt and use consistent with our values and beliefs." -- Rabbi Adam Chalom
Customized B Mitzvahs
Instead of being assigned the weekly Torah portion, we empower our students to think for themselves and choose their reading from the Torah or other Jewish literature based on their interests and inspiration.
Meaningful Holiday Celebrations
Instead of doing things because "that's the way they've always been done," we explore the meaning behind holiday traditions and adapt them for today.
Innovative Membership Model
Money should not matter in finding a meaningful connection. Members freely choose their annual financial contribution, another example of how we "say what we mean and mean what we say."

Guests are always welcome!

JanJanuary 27 , 2023Shabbat Service: Antisemitism: Fears and Realities
Friday, Jan 27th 7:30p to 9:00p
From politics to entertainment to the police blotter, antisemitism seems to be everywhere. How serious is the situation today? Why have we seen a resurgence in vandalism and hate speech, with some reluctant to condemn it? What are the realities about this challenge, and what fears may be overblown? Join us for an important conversation. -

JanJanuary 29 , 2023Youth Education Committee (YEC) Meeting
Sunday, Jan 29th 9:30a to 11:30a
Kol Hadash’s Youth Education Committee (YEC) is like a PTO for our Youth Education program. We meet about every six weeks during Sunday School while our children are in class. Come to one or all the meetings -- and, get to know other parents, too. By attending a YEC meeting, parents will have the chance to: — help plan family Holiday and cultural events — oversee our Sunday School, curriculum and policy — share your input on desirable (or undesirable) programs — offer your feedback on current issues — make choices for the future of our Youth Education program — chat with and get to know other parents! Please contact our Youth Education Director, Ilana Shaffer, at youthed@KolHadash.com or 773-209-8266 with questions. We are following health and safety ‘best practices’: temperature checks and hand sanitizer upon arrival, mandatory masks (regardless of vaccination status), no food, no sharing of materials, and maintaining distance. -
