To sign up, you will need to sign the KT Covid Community Brit and then you can RSVP for two events per month. On the Wednesday before any given Shabbat, you may sign up for any open spots that week.

Accessibility

For most online programming during COVID-19, live captioning will be provided. For more information about this or other online accommodations, please be in touch with us at admin@kol-tzedek.org as we figure out what we are able to offer.

We are committed to disability justice and universal accessibility. If you have questions about specific accessibility needs, please feel free to get in touch with Rabbi Michelle at torahschooldirector@kol-tzedek.org, who will work to answer your questions and provide support. We are currently in the middle of a community process to develop a comprehensive accessibility plan. Thank you for your patience as we conduct this sacred work.

Kol Tzedek, a Voice for Justice, is a young and growing Reconstructionist social justice-focused synagogue in West Philadelphia, founded in 2004. We currently have 320 member households. We are artists, organizers, academics, parents, professionals, students, social workers, midwives, and misfits. We are a mixed multitude; people of varied ages, racial identities, abilities, and genders committed to racial and economic justice. We are Black, Latinx, Asian, multiracial, white, Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi. We are people who ask a lot of questions. We are neighbors and friends who cook, sing, and care for one another. And we have decided to bind our lives together in sacred community.

We gather on the traditional lands of the Lenape and Delaware tribes. As Jews we know the importance of remembering our ancestors and traditions. Many of us have also felt the violence of displacement, diaspora, and colonization. We honor the Indigenous people who lived on and continue to live on and steward this land.
