Join us for KT's annual Hanukkah party on Sunday, December 5, as well as Mutual Aid Hallel and Community Candle Lighting (all on Zoom)! For full details, click HERE.

By popular demand, we are excited to bring you cozy silk-screened Kol Tzedek sweatshirts, Torah School t-shirts, and embroidered warm winter hats! There are two ways to order: click here to order and pick up at the KT office on December 12 (free shipping with this option!) OR click here to order and have them shipped directly to you or a loved one. These make great gifts (even if a bit belated for Hanukkah)! The deadline to order with either link is December 6.

Join us for in-person services on Friday night and Shabbat morning! To register, sign the KT Covid Community Brit and then RSVP here. Full details for all events can be found on the calendar.

Did you see our High Holiday Tzedakah Project featured in the Jewish Exponent? You can donate toward our RIP Medical Debt campaign HERE.

We're hiring Hebrew Hevruta tutors! Please see our Employment Opportunities page for details.

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.
