As part of our on-going summer programming, Congregation Kol Ami will be hosting Saturday Night at the Movies.

We will also have a separate area setup for the any younger viewers with more age-appropriate viewing for them. There will also be a babysitter in attendance in the children’s viewing area to help out the younger ones where needed.
