Congregation Kol Emeth

I have often attended services at this most welcoming and egalitarian conservative synagogue. I would commend Rabbi Schechter the spiritual leader of Kol Emeth as a most engaging and intelligent man who combines a deep feeling for tradition with a delightful sense of humor. Having trained as a cantor his chanting of the service provides an inspiring musical experience which so enhances the intrinsic beauty of the traditional service. The congregants are of diverse background
but are all soon made to feel at home by Rabbi Schechter’s warmth and sincerity.
I would recommend this congregation to anyone wishing a liberal yet traditional Jewish experience.
This synagogue is the best kept secret in Chicagoland. Warm, friendly congregation, Shabbat morning services with erudite humorous Rabbi Barry Schechter (who is also the Cantor, lovely voice) at 9.30 a.m. Elementary Hebrew classes & more. The charm of Kol Emeth is that it’s a small congregation with a very intimate feel. People actually know each other. A real feeling of community.
