Jewish Heritage Center Tucson

Kol Ami is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 225 North Country Club Road, in Tucson, Arizona, in the United States. The congregation was formed through the 2019 merger of Temple Emanu-El and the Congregation Or Chadash, that was established in 1995. The leaders of Temple Emanuel-El and Congregation Or Chadash began discussions about a potential merger in 2018. The merger of the two Reform congregations was consummated the following year, as Kol Ami.As The Hebrew Benevolent Society, it was the first synagogue in the Arizona Territory and is the oldest congregation in the state; Emanu-el's original building, known as the Stone Avenue Temple, was built in 1910 and is the oldest synagogue building in Arizona. This Stone Avenue building, listed as a contributing property on the National Register of Historic Places, has since been repurposed as the Tucson Jewish Museum & Holocaust Center.
