History
[edit]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]
