Kol Hai is Hudson Valley’s embodied, transformative, earth-based Jewish Renewal community. We share heartfelt connection, contemplative practice, embodied spirituality, and earth-honoring rituals.

At the core of all of our programming is soul-stirring, timeless music. Inspired by the hasidic practice of ecstatic chanting, we gather for Kabbalat Shabbat in a candle-lit circle to see and hear each other. We sing, dance, and uplift each other as we find strength in our roots and fulfillment in the sacred present.

Kol Hai is committed to welcoming and indeed celebrating “All Life” - all ages, genders, races, religious backgrounds, and lifestyles. We are open to anyone with an affection for or connection to Jewish culture and practice. We make opportunities for our members to share their gifts, ideas, and talents. We uplift the feminine and other marginalized voices. We all come here together to search for relevance and meaning in the beautiful antiquity of the Jewish tradition.
