Happy Chanukah!

Chanukah this year begins in the evening of Wednesday Dec. 25, 2024 and continues through Thursday Jan. 2, 2025.
 
With your generous support this season, we will continue to be the “Voice of My People” which is the meaning of Kol Ami.  As we have in past years, we ask you to #BeTheLight!
 
Thank you for giving to #BeTheLight for our values this year! Your gift helps us shine the light of our values both during this Chanukah, our festival of lights, and in the year to come.

Gifts of $100 (or more) towards a given candle will be listed as sponsors of that candle.

With a gift of $1000 or more you can dedicate a candle for one of the nights. 

Give a sponsorship or dedication of a candle as a gift to a loved one during this Chanukah season! Any sponsorships or dedications given as gifts will include a card sent to the honoree from Kol Ami.
Please fill out all honoree information thoroughly to ensure they receive their Chanukah card!
