Congregation Kolot Chayeinu (Hebrew: קולות חיינו, lit. 'Voices of Our Lives') is a progressive unaffiliated Jewish congregation, that worships in Gethsemane Church, at 1012 8th Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States.
History
Rabbi Ellen Lippmann established Kolot Chayeinu, a progressive Jewish synagogue in Brooklyn in 1993, initially as a small group of people that met around her dining room table.[1] Over the years it has grown to have its own space and staff, including an ordained cantor; 300+ members, and a Children's Learning Program.
As of May 2024, transgender activist and author, Rabbi Abby Stein is serving as the interim rabbi of Kolot Chayeinu.[2]
