Congregation Kol Tikvah is a Reform temple located in Parkland, Florida, tailored to meet the needs of family, children and seniors.
When six young Parkland families gathered for Shabbat dinner one Friday night in March of 1991, they were united by a common goal: the desire to establish a synagogue in the rapidly growing city of Parkland. The families had among them a Jew by Choice, an interfaith couple, and several adopted children. The decision to identify as a Reform congregation was grown from the need to have all of these individuals be unequivocally accepted and made to feel welcome. A mission statement was established, and decisions were made concerning a permanent location in Parkland and a by laws mandate to keep the size on the smaller scale. The name was chosen as Congregation Kol Tikvah, as the word temple did not evoke the sense of community that the word congregation conveyed .
Today, membership has grown to 365 households, putting the congregation within range of its 400 unit membership cap. Many of these families have children as evidenced by the 350 students enrolled in Religious School and 135 in a growing Early Childhood Center.
