Welcome to Kolaynu: The Progressive Jewish Voice of Santa Cruz!

Join us in celebrating community-led Jewish events "Santa-Cruz-Style": progressive, participatory, egalitarian, creative, and peace-oriented.

We welcome individuals and families of all configurations, genders and orientations, interfaith, questioning and friend of Jews.

Our High Holiday services include feminine/gender-neutral/masculine prayers & blessings and contemporary readings in English. Children are welcome!

This list is for announcing Kolaynu events: High Holiday services, planning meetings, evaluation meetings, and volunteer tasks, etc. This is a very low volume, announcement-only list with a small flurry of activity just before the High Holidays.

We welcome you in the spirit of Shalom!
